Demuškin-to--adic type conjecture
Demuškin-to--adic type conjecture
Let be a field containing a root of unity of order . A Demuškin cyclotomic pro- pair is the pair whose underlying maximal pro- Galois group is Demuškin; its rank is the dimension of its first cohomology over . The pair has -adic type when it is the cyclotomic pro- pair associated with a finite extension of .
Demuškin-to--adic type conjecture. If is a Demuškin cyclotomic pro- pair of rank at least , then has -adic type.
Every cyclotomic pair of -adic type has both Galois type and Demuškin type, but the converse implication is stated to be open for cyclotomic pairs of Galois type that are not already of -adic type. The conjecture would exclude many Demuškin pro- groups from occurring as maximal pro- Galois groups.
