The logarithm identifies deep units with a deep additive group #

Let K be a finite extension of ℚ_[p] with absolute ramification index e, and let i be a depth with e < (p - 1) * i. On 𝓂[K] ^ i the exponential series converges, and on U(K,i) = 1 + 𝓂[K] ^ i the logarithm series converges; TauCeti.log_exp_of_mem_maximalIdeal_pow and TauCeti.exp_log_of_mem_unitFiltration show that they are mutually inverse bijections.

This file proves that these bijections are group homomorphisms and homeomorphisms, and packages them as an isomorphism of topological groups

deepUnitExpLogEquiv : U(K,i) ≃ₜ* Multiplicative (𝓂[K] ^ i),

given by u ↦ log u, with inverse x ↦ exp x. The homomorphism property comes from the functional equation exp (x + y) = exp x * exp y on 𝓂[K] ^ i: in a nonarchimedean field the Cauchy product of two convergent series converges to the product of their sums, and coefficientwise it is the formal identity PowerSeries.exp_mul_exp_eq_exp_add. Continuity of the exponential comes from its being an isometry of 𝓂[K] ^ i into K, inherited from the isometry property of the logarithm (TauCeti.valuation_log_sub_log).

This isomorphism turns multiplication of deep units into addition on 𝓂[K] ^ i: raising to the n-th power on U(K,i) corresponds to taking the n-fold sum on 𝓂[K] ^ i.

The exponential is an isometry on deep elements. On 𝓂[K] ^ i with (p - 1) * i > e, v(exp x - exp y) = v(x - y).

On 𝓂[K] ^ i with (p - 1) * i > e, the exponential is continuous.

The logarithm is a homomorphism on deep units. On U(K,i) with (p - 1) * i > e, log (u * w) = log u + log w.

The deep-unit logarithm. For a finite extension K of ℚ_[p] with absolute ramification index e and a depth i with (p - 1) * i > e, the logarithm is an isomorphism of topological groups U(K,i) ≃ₜ* Multiplicative (𝓂[K] ^ i) from the deep units to the additive group 𝓂[K] ^ i, whose inverse is the exponential.

Instances For

    Deep logarithms in every direction. For every depth i and every z in K, some nonzero ℚ_p-scalar multiple of z is the logarithm of a unit in U(K,i). No hypothesis relates i to the ramification bound.
