Specialization of the Tate equation #
The coefficients of the Tate equation are formal power series with integer coefficients. In a
complete non-archimedean normed ring with ‖1‖ = 1, their sums converge at every parameter of norm
less than one.
This remains true in residue characteristics 2 and 3: the sixth coefficient is summed from
its integral coefficients, with no division in the target ring.
For a unit parameter in the open unit ball of a complete non-archimedean normed commutative ring
with ‖1‖ = 1, these sums give a nonsingular Tate equation. Its discriminant has the same norm as
the parameter, even when the ring norm is only submultiplicative. Point uniformisation requires
further arguments.

The discriminant of the specialized Tate equation is a unit.
A unit parameter of norm below one gives an elliptic curve over the complete normed ring, with no discreteness or characteristic assumption.
The specialized Tate discriminant has the same norm as the parameter, even for a submultiplicative ring norm.
