Twisting lemma for $\lambda$-adic modules

A classical twisting lemma says that given a finitely generated torsion module $M$ over the Iwasawa algebra $\mathbb{Z}_p[[Γ]]$ with $\Gamma \cong \mathbb{Z}_p$, there exists a continuous character $\theta : \Gamma \to \mathbb{Z}^\times_p$ such that, the $\Gamma^{p^n}$‑Euler characteristic of the twist $M(\theta)$ is finite for every $n$. This twisting lemma has been generalized for the Iwasawa algebra of a general compact $p$‑adic Lie group $G$. In this article, we consider a further generalization of the twisting lemma to $\mathcal{T}[[G]]$ modules, where $G$ is a compact $p$‑adic Lie group and $\mathcal{T}$ is a finite extension of $\mathbb{Z}_p[[X]]$. Such modules naturally occur in Hida theory. We also indicate arithmetic applications by considering the ‘big’ Selmer (respectively fine Selmer) group of a $\Lambda$‑adic form over a $p$‑adic Lie extension.
