Abstract

For a number field FF and an odd prime number p,p, let F~\tilde{F} be the compositum of all Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extensions of FF and Λ~\tilde{\Lambda} the associated Iwasawa algebra. Let GS(F~)G_{S}(\tilde{F}) be the Galois group over F~\tilde{F} of the maximal extension which is unramified outside pp-adic and infinite places. In this paper we study the Λ~\tilde{\Lambda}-module XS(i)(F~):=H1(GS(F~),Zp(i))\mathfrak{X}_{S}^{(-i)}(\tilde{F}):=H_1(G_S(\tilde{F}), \mathbb{Z}_p(-i)) and its relationship with X(F~(μp))(i1)Δ,X(\tilde{F}(\mu_p))(i-1)^\Delta, the Δ:=Gal(F~(μp)/F~)\Delta:=\mathrm{Gal}(\tilde{F}(\mu_{p})/\tilde{F})-invariant of the Galois group over F~(μp)\tilde{F}(\mu_{p}) of the maximal abelian unramified pro-pp-extension of F~(μp).\tilde{F}(\mu_{p}). More precisely, we show that under a decomposition condition, the pseudo-nullity of the Λ~\tilde{\Lambda}-module X(F~(μp))(i1)ΔX(\tilde{F}(\mu_p))(i-1)^\Delta is implied by the existence of a Zpd\mathbb{Z}_{p}^d-extension LL with XS(i)(L):=H1(GS(L),Zp(i))\mathfrak{X}_{S}^{(-i)}(L):=H_1(G_S(L), \mathbb{Z}_p(-i)) being without torsion over the Iwasawa algebra associated to L,L, and which contains a Zp\mathbb{Z}_{p}-extension FF_{\infty} satisfying H2(GS(F),Qp/Zp(i))=0.H^2(G_{S}(F_{\infty}),\mathbb{Q}_{p}/\mathbb{Z}_p(i))=0. As a consequence we obtain a sufficient condition for the validity of Greenberg's generalized conjecture when the integer i1mod[F(μp):F].i\equiv 1 \mod{[F(\mu_p):F]}. This existence is fulfilled for (p,i)(p, i)-regular fields.
