The non-abelian Leopoldt conjecture for eigenvariety components

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let GG be a reductive group, let Kp⊂G(Afp)K^p\subset G(\mathbb{A}_f^p) be a tame level, let Iw⁡⊂G(Qp)\operatorname{Iw}\subset G(\mathbb{Q}_p) be an Iwahori subgroup, and set K=KpIw⁡K=K^p\operatorname{Iw}. Let XG,K\mathcal{X}_{G,K} and XG,Kε\mathcal{X}_{G,K}^{\varepsilon} be the corresponding eigenvarieties over the weight space W\mathcal{W}, and let ℓ(G)\ell(G) denote the defect of GG. For a non-critical classical tempered cuspidal eigenpacket ϕ\phi, write xϕx_\phi for the associated point. The non-abelian Leopoldt conjecture. Any irreducible component I⊂XG,K\mathcal{I}\subset\mathcal{X}_{G,K}, or XG,Kε\mathcal{X}_{G,K}^{\varepsilon}, through xϕx_\phi has dimension

dim⁡W−ℓ(G).\dim \mathcal{W}-\ell(G).

This predicts that the defect measures the codimension of cuspidal eigenvariety components in the weight space, extending the usual Leopoldt philosophy to non-abelian eigenvarieties. The conjecture is attributed to Hida and Urban; the supplied text gives no evidence of a general resolution.
