Integer multiplication on formal groups #
FormalGroup.zsmulSeries extends the native natural-number multiplication series to all
integers, using the group of substitutable power-series points. Negative indices use the
formal inverse, not coefficientwise negation. Substitution into a point with nilpotent
constant term computes integer multiplication on that point.
The addition and composition identities hold without commutativity of the formal group. For a commutative formal group, integer multiplication is bundled as an endomorphism. Multiplication series commute with coefficient base change and with every homomorphism; in particular an isomorphism identifies them by conjugation of coordinates, so isomorphic laws are killed by the same integers.
