Coefficients of formal group laws #
Mathlib states commutativity of a formal group law F(X, Y) as the identity F(X, Y) = F(Y, X)
of power series. This file records its coefficientwise form: the coefficient of XⁱYʲ in F
equals that of XʲYⁱ. It also records the lowest-order effect of perturbing an argument of a
formal group law: since F(X, Y) = X + Y + ⋯, perturbing x or y by a series e of order at
least n ≥ 1 adds e to F(x, y), up to terms of degree greater than n.

The coefficients of a commutative formal group law are symmetric: the coefficient of XⁱYʲ
equals that of XʲYⁱ.
Perturbing the first argument of F by a series e of order at least n ≥ 1 adds e to
F(x, y), up to terms of degree greater than n.
Perturbing the second argument of F by a series e of order at least n ≥ 1 adds e to
F(x, y), up to terms of degree greater than n.
