On the cohomology of Witt vectors of p-adic integers and a conjecture of Hesselholt

Let K be a complete discrete valued field of characteristic zero with residue field kK of characteristic p>0. Let L/K be a finite Galois extension with Galois group G such that the induced extension of residue fields kL/kK is separable. Hesselholt (2004) 2] conjectured that the pro-abelian group {H¹(G,Wn(OL))}_n∈N is zero, where OL is the ring of integers of L and W(OL) is the ring of Witt vectors in OL w.r.t. the prime p. He partially proved this conjecture for a large class of extensions. In this paper, we prove Hesselholt?s conjecture for all Galois extensions.
