Division by a unit in the elliptic formal group #

Multiplication by an integer invertible in the coefficient ring is an automorphism of the elliptic formal group evaluated on an adic ideal. Its inverse is obtained by evaluating the compositional inverse of the multiplication series, whose linear coefficient is that integer. Mathlib's PowerSeries.substInvOfIsUnit supplies this inverse; the existing FormalGroupPoint.coe_nsmul identifies the evaluated multiplication series with scalar multiplication on formal parameters. Consequently the kernel of reduction over a completed discretely valued field is uniquely divisible by integers prime to the residue characteristic. This supplies torsion lifts under good reduction. The point-level theorem WeierstrassCurve.exists_nsmul_eq_of_pole gives division inside the points reducing to infinity for any integral elliptic equation over the completion.

Over a completed discretely valued field, division by an integer prime to the residue characteristic preserves the points reducing to infinity, for any integral elliptic equation.
