Demuškin maximal pro-pp Galois group conjecture

Let FF be a field containing a root of unity of order pp. The field FF is arithmetically Demuškin when it satisfies the arithmetical conditions defined earlier in the paper. A pro-pp Demuškin group is a pro-pp group with Demuškin structure, and GF(p)G_F(p) denotes the maximal pro-pp Galois group of FF.

Demuškin maximal pro-pp Galois group conjecture. If GF(p)G_F(p) is a pro-pp Demuškin group of rank at least 33, then FF is arithmetically Demuškin.

This is presented as the converse of the stated theorem that an arithmetically Demuškin field has a maximal pro-pp Galois group of pp-adic type. The conjecture seeks an arithmetic characterization of those fields whose maximal pro-pp Galois groups are Demuškin.
