Graduated orders over completed group rings and conductor formulæ
Ben Forrás
TL;DR
This work extends the theory of conductors and Artin-type conjectures from classical maximal/hereditary orders to graduated orders over completed group rings of one-dimensional $p$-adic Lie groups. By developing a two-dimensional base framework, it proves a conductor formula for graduated overorders, identifies an explicit central-conductor expression with componentwise $r_\chi$ exponents determined by ramification data, and refines Nickel’s results in this broader setting. The paper also confirms the equivariant $p$-adic Artin conjecture for graduated orders assuming the equivariant Iwasawa main conjecture, with a componentwise reduction via a detailed Wedderburn decomposition. Collectively, these results broaden the toolkit for studying non-Dedekind base rings in noncommutative Iwasawa theory, providing explicit invariants, duality properties, and annihilation results for Ext- and Fitting-type invariants in graduated contexts.
Abstract
We study graduated orders over completed group rings of $1$-dimensional admissible $p$-adic Lie groups, and verify the equivariant $p$-adic Artin conjecture for such orders. Following Jacobinski and Plesken, we obtain a formula for the conductor of a graduated order into a self-dual order. We also refine Nickel's central conductor formula by determining a hitherto implicit exponent $r_χ$.
