Greenberg's conjecture for totally real fields

Let kk be a totally real number field and pp a prime number. For the cyclotomic bZpbZ_p-extension kc/kk^\mathrm{c}_\infty/k, let X(kc)X(k^\mathrm{c}_\infty) denote its unramified Iwasawa module.

Greenberg's conjecture. The module X(kc)X(k^\mathrm{c}_\infty) is finite.

This is the classical finiteness conjecture in Iwasawa theory for totally real number fields; its status is open in general.
