The standard-prime ideal conjecture for solvable Iwasawa algebras

About 7 years old · traced to

Let pp be a prime, let KK be a finite extension of Qp\mathbb{Q}_p, and let GG be a solvable uniform pro-pp group. Write KGKG for the Iwasawa algebra of continuous KK-distributions on GG. A prime ideal PP of KGKG is standard if there exists a closed, normal subgroup HH of GG such that

H−1⊆P,H-1\subseteq P,

and, setting G′:=G/HG':=G/H, the ideal P~:=P/(H−1)KG\widetilde{P}:=P/(H-1)KG of KG/(H−1)KG≅KG′KG/(H-1)KG\cong KG' is centrally generated.

Standard-prime ideal conjecture. If PP is a prime ideal of KGKG, then PP is standard.

Standard prime ideals have particularly strong properties: in particular, they are generally completely prime, so KG/PKG/P is a domain. The conjecture proposes a predictable classification of prime ideals in solvable Iwasawa algebras and addresses the broader classification problem for prime ideals in KGKG; its resolution is not established by the supplied text.
