Asymptotic growth of Iwasawa invariants in Noncommutative towers of number fields
Abstract: Let $p$ be an odd prime, $F$ be a number field and consider a uniform infinite pro-$p$ extension $F_\infty$ of $F$ with Galois group $G=Gal(F_\infty/F)$. Let [G=G_0\supset G_1\supset\dots \supset G_n\supset G_{n+1}\supset \dots] be the descending $p$ central series of $G$ and set $F_n:=F_\infty{G_n}$. Assume that $G$ is uniform and that $F_\infty$ contains the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $F$. Denote by $A_n$ the $p$-primary part of the class group of the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $F_n$. The $\lambda$-invariant of $F_n$ coincides with the corank of $A_n$ as a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-module. Assume that the Iwasawa $\mu$-invariant of the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $F$ equal to $0$. Then, the $\mu$-invariant of the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $F_n$ is $0$ as well and $A_n$ is isomorphic to $\left(\mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p\right){\lambda_n}$. We study the asymptotic growth of $\lambda_n$ as $n$ goes to $\infty$.
