Abstract

It is well known that, for any finitely generated torsion module $M$ over the Iwasawa algebra $ℤ_{p} [[Γ]]$ , where $Γ$ is isomorphic to $ℤ_{p}$ , there exists a continuous $p$ -adic character $ρ$ of $Γ$ such that, for every open subgroup $U$ of $Γ$ , the group of $U$ -coinvariants $M {(ρ)}_{U}$ is finite; here $M (ρ)$ denotes the twist of $M$ by $ρ$ . This twisting lemma was already used to study various arithmetic properties of Selmer groups and Galois cohomologies over a cyclotomic tower by Greenberg and Perrin-Riou. We prove a noncommutative generalization of this twisting lemma, replacing torsion modules over $ℤ_{p} [[Γ]]$ by certain torsion modules over $ℤ_{p} [[G]]$ with more general $p$ -adic Lie group $G$ . In a forthcoming article, this noncommutative twisting lemma will be used to prove the functional equation of Selmer groups of general $p$ -adic representations over certain $p$ -adic Lie extensions.
