Abstract

Let pp be an odd prime, F/QF/{\Bbb Q} an abelian totally real number field, F/FF_\infty/F its cyclotomic Zp{\Bbb Z}_p-extension, G=Gal(F/Q),G_\infty = Gal (F_\infty / {\Bbb Q}), A=Zp[[G]].{\Bbb A} = {\Bbb Z}_p [[G_\infty]]. We give an explicit description of the equivariant characteristic ideal of HIw2(F,Zp(m))H^2_{Iw} (F_\infty, {\Bbb Z}_p(m)) over A{\Bbb A} for all odd mZm \in {\Bbb Z} by applying M. Witte's formulation of an equivariant main conjecture (or "limit theorem") due to Burns and Greither. This could shed some light on Greenberg's conjecture on the vanishing of the λ\lambda-invariant of F/F.F_\infty/F.
