An equivariant $p$-adic Artin conjecture

Abstract

We formulate an equivariant version of Greenberg's $p$-adic Artin conjecture for smoothed equivariant $p$-adic Artin $L$-functions in the context of an arbitrary one-dimensional admissible $p$-adic Lie extension of a totally real number field. Using results of the author on the Wedderburn decomposition of the total ring of quotients of the Iwasawa algebra $\Lambda(\mathcal G)$, we deduce validity of the conjecture in several interesting cases.
