Integral logarithms of rescaled formal group laws #
Let F be a formal group law over a commutative ring R, with invariant differential
P(T) = ∑ pₙ Tⁿ, and let s ∈ R. The rescaling F^s, with s · F^s(X, Y) = F(s X, s Y)
(FormalGroup.rescale), has invariant differential P(s T)
(FormalGroup.invariantDifferential_rescale), so over a ℚ-algebra its logarithm is
log_{F^s}(T) = ∑_{n ≥ 0} (sⁿ / (n + 1)) pₙ Tⁿ⁺¹,
that is s · log_{F^s}(T) = log_F(s T) (FormalGroup.smul_log_rescale). The denominators of
log_F are cancelled by the powers of s as soon as n + 1 divides sⁿ in R for every n.
Then the series above has coefficients in R, even though R need not contain ℚ. This series is
FormalGroup.rescaleLog. Over a ring without additive torsion it is additive along F^s, and its
linear coefficient is 1. So it is a strict isomorphism from F^s to the additive formal group
law, defined over R (FormalGroup.rescaleLogIso). After base change to any ℚ-algebra it
becomes the logarithm of F^s, and its inverse becomes the exponential of F^s
(FormalGroup.map_rescaleLog, FormalGroup.map_invHom_rescaleLogIso).
The divisibility hypothesis holds when p ∣ s ^ (p - 1) for a prime p and every natural number
prime to p is a unit of R (TauCeti.natCast_add_one_dvd_pow). For the ring of integers of a
finite extension of ℚ_p with normalised valuation v, this asks v(s) ≥ v(p) / (p - 1); for
ℤ_p one may take s = p, including p = 2. Since the points of F^s in the maximal ideal 𝔪
are carried to the points of F in s 𝔪 by t ↦ s t, this is the formal input to the comparison
of the formal group F(s 𝔪) with the additive group s 𝔪 through the logarithm (Silverman IV.6.4).

The logarithm of the rescaling: over a ℚ-algebra, s · log_{F^s}(T) = log_F(s T). So
log_{F^s}(T) = s⁻¹ log_F(s T) when s is a unit.
The integral logarithm of the rescaling F^s, when n + 1 divides sⁿ for every n: the
power series ∑_{n ≥ 0} (sⁿ / (n + 1)) pₙ Tⁿ⁺¹ with coefficients in R, where P(T) = ∑ pₙ Tⁿ
is the invariant differential of F. Its derivative is the invariant differential of F^s
(FormalGroup.derivative_rescaleLog), and after base change to a ℚ-algebra it is the logarithm
of F^s (FormalGroup.map_rescaleLog). The quotient sⁿ / (n + 1) is a chosen witness of the
divisibility; it is unique when R has no additive torsion, which is the case in which the series
is additive along F^s.
Instances For
The coefficient of Tⁿ⁺¹ in the integral logarithm is the chosen quotient sⁿ / (n + 1)
times the coefficient pₙ of the invariant differential of F.
The integral logarithm has no constant term.
The derivative of the integral logarithm of F^s is the invariant differential of F^s:
the coefficient of Tⁿ⁺¹ times n + 1 is sⁿ pₙ.
The integral logarithm has linear coefficient 1.
Over a ring without additive torsion, the integral logarithm of F^s is the only power series
with no constant term whose derivative is the invariant differential of F^s. In particular it
does not depend on the chosen quotients sⁿ / (n + 1).
The integral logarithm of F^s, as a homomorphism from F^s to the additive formal group law,
over a ring without additive torsion.
Instances For
The integral logarithm is a strict isomorphism from F^s to the additive formal group law,
defined over R, when R has no additive torsion and n + 1 divides sⁿ for every n.
Instances For
The inverse of the integral logarithm becomes the exponential of F^s after base change to
a ℚ-algebra. So the exponential of F^s has coefficients in R.
A homomorphism from a rescaled formal group to the additive law is its linear coefficient times the integral logarithm.
Integral logarithms are natural along homomorphisms, including when the tangent map is
not a unit: log_G(f(T)) = f'(0) log_F(T).
