Iwasawa's μ=0 conjecture for cyclotomic ℤp-extensions

About 18 years old · traced to

Let KK be a number field and let KcycK^{\text{cyc}} be the cyclotomic Zp\mathbf{Z}_p-extension of KK. The Iwasawa μ\mu-invariant is the coefficient governing the exponential term in the asymptotic growth of the pp-part of class numbers in the tower. Iwasawa's μ=0 conjecture. The invariant satisfies μ=0\mu=0. This is a central open problem in classical Iwasawa theory; it is known when K/QK/\mathbf{Q} is abelian by Ferrero and Washington, but remains open in general.
