Weak Greenberg's generalized conjecture for imaginary quadratic fields

Abstract: Let

p

be an odd prime number and

k

an imaginary quadratic field in which

p

splits. In this paper, we consider a weak form of Greenberg's generalized conjecture for

p

and

k

, which states that the non-trivial Iwasawa module of the maximal multiple

m a t h b b Z_{p}

-extension field over

k

has a non-trivial pseudo-null submodule. We prove this conjecture for

p

and

k

under the assumption that the Iwasawa

l a m b d a

-invariant for a certain

m a t h b b Z_{p}

-extension over a finite abelian extension of

k

vanishes and that the characteristic ideal of the Iwasawa module associated to the cyclotomic

m a t h b b Z_{p}

-extension over

k

has a square-free generator.
