On the codescent of \'etale wild kernels in $p$-adic Lie extensions

Abstract

Let FF be a number field and pp an odd prime. We estimate the kernels and cokernels of the codescent maps of the \'etale wild kernels over various pp-adic Lie extensions. For this, we propose a novel approach of viewing the \'etale wild kernel as an appropriate fine Selmer group in the sense of Coates-Sujatha. This viewpoint reduces the problem to a control theorem of the said fine Selmer groups, which in turn allows us to employ the strategies developed by Mazur and Greenberg. As applications of our estimates on the kernels and cokernels of the codescent maps, we establish asymptotic growth formulas for the \'etale wild kernels in the various said pp-adic Lie extensions. We then relate these growth formulas to the Greenberg's conjecture (and its noncommutative analogue). Finally, we shall give some examples to illustrate our results.
