The dual stage norms and the disc norms of Amice transforms #
A locally analytic distribution μ on ℤ_p is recorded by its moments
bₙ = μ (x ↦ (x choose n)), the coefficients of its Amice transform F = ∑ bₙ Tⁿ. Restricted to
the functions analytic on the discs of radius p⁻ʰ, μ has the dual stage norm
D_h(F) = supₙ ‖bₙ‖ ‖⌊n / pʰ⌋!‖,
computed in ℚ_p: Amice's basis of that stage consists of the polynomials
⌊n / pʰ⌋! (x choose n). On the analytic side, F has the Gauss norm
S_h(F) = supₙ ‖bₙ‖ r_hⁿ at the radius
r_h = p ^ (-1 / ((p - 1) pʰ)),
which is the pʰ-th root of the radius p ^ (-1 / (p - 1)) of convergence of the p-adic
exponential. Legendre's formula (p - 1) v_p(m!) = m - s_p(m) compares the two weights:
r_hⁿ ≤ ‖⌊n / pʰ⌋!‖ ≤ p r_{h+1}ⁿ. Hence
S_h(F) ≤ D_h(F) ≤ p S_{h+1}(F),
each inequality holding as soon as its right-hand side is a supremum of a bounded family.
Since r_h increases to 1, every D_h(F) is finite exactly when every S_h(F) is finite,
exactly when F converges on the open unit disc, that is, is restricted at every radius
0 < ρ < 1 (PowerSeries.OnOpenDisc). By Amice's theorem these are the coefficient conditions
for F to be the Amice transform of a distribution. A bound at a single level does not
suffice: the moments 1 / n! of the exponential series have finite level-zero norm but infinite
level-one norm. The series log (1 + T), with coefficients (-1) ^ (n + 1) / n, lies on the
open unit disc (PowerSeries.onOpenDisc_log), but its coefficients are unbounded, so it is not
the Amice transform of a measure. Informally, it is the transform of the derivative at zero, a
distribution that is not a measure.
The supremum amiceDualNorm is a real iSup, so its value is meaningful only for bounded
families; every statement assumes the relevant boundedness. The disc norm S_h is Mathlib's
PowerSeries.gaussNorm at the radius TauCeti.amiceRadius p h.

The radii r_h #
The radius r_h = p ^ (-1 / ((p - 1) pʰ)) attached to the analytic level h: the pʰ-th
root of the radius of convergence p ^ (-1 / (p - 1)) of the p-adic exponential. The Gauss
norm of an Amice transform at this radius is comparable with its dual stage norm at level h.
Instances For
The radii r_h are positive.
The radii r_h are smaller than 1.
r_0 ^ (p - 1) = p⁻¹: the radius r_0 = p ^ (-1 / (p - 1)) is the radius of convergence of
the p-adic exponential.
r_{h+1} ^ p = r_h: each radius is the p-th root of the previous one.
The radii r_h increase strictly with the level h.
The radii r_h tend to 1.
The weights ‖⌊n / pʰ⌋!‖ #
Upper weight bound. ‖⌊n / pʰ⌋!‖ ≤ p r_{h+1}ⁿ: the weight of the dual stage norm at
level h is at most p times the weight r_{h+1}ⁿ of the Gauss norm at the radius r_{h+1}.
The lower weight bound is sharp up to a constant. Along n = p^(h + k), where
⌊n / pʰ⌋ = pᵏ, the weight ‖(pᵏ)!‖ is p ^ (1 / (p - 1)) r_hⁿ. So r_hⁿ / ‖⌊n / pʰ⌋!‖ does not
tend to zero, and no bound ρⁿ ≤ ‖⌊n / pʰ⌋!‖ holds for all n with ρ > r_h.
The dual stage norm and its comparison with the disc norms #
The dual stage norm D_h(F) = supₙ ‖coeff n F‖ ‖⌊n / pʰ⌋!‖ of a power series F, the
factorials being taken in ℚ_p. When F is the Amice transform of a distribution, Amice's basis
theorem identifies it with the norm of the distribution on the functions analytic on the discs of
radius p⁻ʰ. As a real
supremum it is meaningful only when the family is bounded above.
Instances For
The dual stage norm is the supremum of the terms ‖coeff n F‖ ‖⌊n / pʰ⌋!‖.
The lower weight bound, multiplied by the norm of a coefficient: the term of the Gauss norm at
the radius r_h is at most the term of the dual stage norm at level h.
The upper weight bound, multiplied by the norm of a coefficient: the term of the dual stage
norm at level h is at most p times the term of the Gauss norm at the radius r_{h+1}.
A common bound on the terms bounds the dual stage norm.
The dual stage norm is nonnegative.
A bounded dual stage norm at level h bounds the Gauss norm at the radius r_h.
A bounded Gauss norm at the radius r_{h+1} bounds the dual stage norm at level h.
S_h ≤ D_h. The Gauss norm at the radius r_h is at most the dual stage norm at level
h, provided the latter is the supremum of a bounded family.
D_h ≤ p S_{h+1}. The dual stage norm at level h is at most p times the Gauss norm at
the radius r_{h+1}, provided the latter is the supremum of a bounded family.
Finiteness at every level #
A series lies on the open unit disc exactly when it is restricted at every radius r_h.
All disc norms are finite exactly on the open unit disc. A series has a finite Gauss norm
at every radius r_h exactly when it is restricted at every radius 0 < ρ < 1.
All dual stage norms are finite exactly on the open unit disc. The families
‖coeff n F‖ ‖⌊n / pʰ⌋!‖ are bounded for every level h exactly when F is restricted at every
radius 0 < ρ < 1.
Weighted coefficients on the open unit disc are bounded. If F lies on the open unit disc
of a normed ℚ_p-algebra K with ‖1‖ = 1, then at every level h the family
⌊n / pʰ⌋! coeff n F, the factorials being taken in K, is bounded.
Examples: the exponential and the logarithm #
The moments 1 / n! of the exponential series have a finite dual stage norm at level zero:
every term ‖1 / n!‖ ‖n!‖ is 1.
A bound at one level does not suffice. The moments 1 / n! of the exponential series have
an infinite dual stage norm at level one: the term at n = p k is ‖k!‖ / ‖(p k)!‖ = pᵏ.
The exponential series does not lie on the open unit disc of ℚ_p: its dual stage norm at
level one is infinite.
The coefficients of log (1 + T) are unbounded in ℚ_p: the coefficient of T ^ (p ^ k)
has norm pᵏ. By contrast, log (1 + T) lies on the open unit disc
(PowerSeries.onOpenDisc_log).
log (1 + T) is not the Amice transform of a measure. The series log (1 + T) is not the
Amice transform of a bounded measure on ℤ_p with values in ℚ_p, its coefficients being
unbounded. Informally, it is the transform of the derivative at zero, which is therefore a
distribution but not a measure.
