Taylor translation of restricted power series #
Let R be a complete ultrametric normed commutative ring and f = ∑ aₖ Xᵏ a power series over
R restricted at a radius c, so that ‖aₖ‖ cᵏ → 0 and f converges on the closed disc
‖x‖ ≤ c. For a point a of that disc, the Taylor translate taylor a f = ∑ₙ (Δⁿ f)(a) Xⁿ,
whose coefficients are the values at a of the Hasse derivatives of f, is the expansion of f
at a. This file shows that it is again restricted at c, with the same Gauss norm, and that it
is the series f(X + a) on the whole closed disc:
‖(Δⁿ f)(a)‖ cⁿ ≤ ‖f‖_c, ‖taylor a f‖_c = ‖f‖_c, f(b + a) = ∑ₙ (Δⁿ f)(a) bⁿ for ‖b‖ ≤ c.
Unlike the archimedean case there is no loss of radius: the expansion of f at any point of the
closed disc of radius c converges on the same disc. Translation commutes with Hasse
derivatives, is additive and multiplicative, and translations by a and b compose to the
translation by b + a; in particular translation by -a inverts translation by a. No
factorial is inverted, so all of this holds in every characteristic, for instance over finite
extensions of ℚ_p with any ramification.
Splitting the expansion of f at a after its first T terms gives the Taylor remainder
estimate: if ‖(Δᵗ f)(a)‖ ‖y‖ᵗ ≤ ε for t < T, then
‖f(y + a)‖ ≤ max ε (‖f‖_c (‖y‖ / c) ^ T) for ‖y‖ ≤ c. This is the local analytic estimate
used to pass from small divided derivatives of an auxiliary function at one point to its size
near that point in the method of linear forms in p-adic logarithms.
These are the one-variable counterparts, stated for PowerSeries and its Hasse derivatives, of
the multivariable translation TauCeti.MvPowerSeries.restrictedTranslate of Tate algebras, and
the restricted counterparts of the Taylor translation of entire series
(PowerSeries.IsEntire.evalAt_taylor).

Coefficients of the expansion at a point. Over an ultrametric normed ring, for a series
with a Gauss norm at a radius c > 0 and a point a with ‖a‖ ≤ c, the n-th coefficient
(Δⁿ f)(a) of the expansion of f at a satisfies ‖(Δⁿ f)(a)‖ cⁿ ≤ ‖f‖_c.
Translation does not increase the Gauss norm. Over an ultrametric normed ring, for a

Translates of restricted series are restricted. Over an ultrametric normed ring, if f is
restricted at the radius c and ‖a‖ ≤ c, then the expansion taylor a f of f at a is
restricted at c: no radius is lost.
The Taylor identity for restricted series. Over a complete ultrametric normed ring, if f
is restricted at the radius c and ‖a‖ ≤ c, ‖b‖ ≤ c, then the expansion of f at a
evaluated at b is f(b + a).

Translations compose: for a series f restricted at c and ‖a‖ ≤ c, ‖b‖ ≤ c,
taylor b (taylor a f) = taylor (b + a) f.
Translation by -a inverts translation by a on series restricted at c ≥ ‖a‖.
Translation is an isometry. Over a complete ultrametric normed ring, for a series f
restricted at a radius c > 0 and a point a with ‖a‖ ≤ c, ‖taylor a f‖_c = ‖f‖_c.
The Taylor remainder estimate. Over a complete ultrametric normed ring, let f be
restricted at a radius c > 0 and let ‖a‖ ≤ c, ‖y‖ ≤ c. If ε bounds the first T terms
‖(Δᵗ f)(a)‖ ‖y‖ᵗ, t < T, of the expansion of f at a, then
‖f(y + a)‖ ≤ max ε (‖f‖_c * (‖y‖ / c) ^ T).
For ε = 0 this is the Schwarz lemma at a single zero of order T.
