On a characterisation of perfectoid fields by Iwasawa theory

Abstract

We prove that the vanishing of the module of universal norms associated with a de Rham Galois representation whose Hodge-Tate weights are not all non-positive characterises the algebraic extensions of the field of $p$-adic numbers whose completion is a perfectoid field. We thereby generalise results by Coates and Greenberg for abelian varieties, and by Bondarko for $p$-divisible groups.
