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.

Main results #

The coefficients of a commutative formal group law are symmetric: the coefficient of XⁱYʲ equals that of XʲYⁱ.
