The Smoothness Conjecture for profinite groups
The Smoothness Conjecture for profinite groups
Let be a profinite group. Recall that is 1-smooth if it satisfies the relevant lifting property for cyclotomic modules. The weak Bloch–Kato property at means that, for every integer and every open subgroup , every class in is a quasi-symbol relative to the trivial one-dimensional -module . A profinite group is smooth if it is -smooth for every relevant prime and cyclotomic datum.
Smoothness Conjecture. If is -smooth, then it has the weak Bloch–Kato property. In particular, it is smooth.
This conjecture connects the lifting-theoretic notion of smoothness with the Bloch–Kato-type description of continuous cohomology by quasi-symbols. The source says that it is intended to be proved in future work; no resolution is supplied here.
