lim and lim¹ of the multiplication-by-p tower #
Let p be a prime and consider the tower of integers ℤ ← ℤ ← ℤ ← ⋯ whose transition maps are
multiplication by p, ModuleTower.multiplicationTower (p : ℤ). Its limit vanishes
(ModuleTower.lim_multiplicationTower_eq_bot), but its first derived limit is the nonzero group
ℤ_p ⧸ ℤ: sending a family (aₙ) to the p-adically convergent sum ∑ₙ pⁿ aₙ induces an
isomorphism lim¹ ≃ ℤ_[p] ⧸ ℤ. Consequently the tower is not Mittag-Leffler, so the hypothesis
of ModuleTower.subsingleton_limOne_of_isMittagLeffler cannot be dropped. The tower is the basic
example of a nonvanishing lim¹: for instance the degree-zero homology of the tower of complexes
ℤ → ℤ/pⁿ⁺¹ is the multiplication-by-p tower (up to isomorphism), and its lim¹ appears in the
Milnor sequence of that tower.

The p-adic summation map (aₙ) ↦ ∑ₙ pⁿ aₙ from the product of the terms of the
multiplication-by-p tower of integers to ℤ_[p].
Instances For
The series ∑ₙ pⁿ aₙ converges in ℤ_[p] to padicSum p a.
Telescoping: the p-adic sum of the shift of a family x is its zeroth term,
∑ₙ pⁿ (xₙ - xₙ₊₁ p) = x₀.
Every p-adic integer is a p-adic sum ∑ₙ pⁿ aₙ of integers: take for aₙ the
n-th base-p digit, read off from the truncations PadicInt.appr.
The image of the shift map of the multiplication-by-p tower consists exactly of the
families (aₙ) whose p-adic sum ∑ₙ pⁿ aₙ is an integer.
lim¹ of the multiplication-by-p tower is ℤ_[p] ⧸ ℤ, the isomorphism being induced
by the p-adic summation map (aₙ) ↦ ∑ₙ pⁿ aₙ (limOneMultiplicationTowerEquiv_mk).
Instances For
limOneMultiplicationTowerEquiv sends the class in lim¹ of a family (aₙ) to the class in
ℤ_[p] ⧸ ℤ of its p-adic sum ∑ₙ pⁿ aₙ.
lim¹ of the multiplication-by-p tower is nonzero.
The multiplication-by-p tower is not Mittag-Leffler, since its lim¹ does not
vanish.
