The graded deviation of an endomorphism congruent to the identity #
Let G be a topological group with lower p-series λ_k = TauCeti.pLowerCentralSeries p G k,
and let θ : G →* G be a continuous endomorphism that is congruent to the identity modulo
λ_m: g⁻¹ * θ g ∈ λ_m for every g. Then g⁻¹ * θ g ∈ λ_{m+k} for g ∈ λ_k, and the
assignment g ↦ g⁻¹ * θ g induces additive maps
D_k : gr_k(G) →+ gr_{m+k}(G)
on the graded pieces gr_k(G) = λ_k ⧸ λ_{k+1}, the graded deviation of θ. The map
g ↦ g⁻¹ * θ g is a crossed homomorphism,
(g * h)⁻¹ * θ (g * h) = (h⁻¹ * (g⁻¹ * θ g) * h) * (h⁻¹ * θ h), and the conjugation acts
trivially on the relevant graded piece; this is what makes D_k well defined and additive.
For m ≥ 1 the deviation is a derivation of the graded structure: it satisfies the Leibniz rule
D [x, y] = [D x, y] + [x, D y] against the bracket, and it commutes with the p-power operator
π in every degree k ≥ 1. In degree zero the exact relation is
D (π x) = π (D x) + (p choose 2) • [D x, x], the binomial formula of nilpotency class two, so
D commutes with π in degree zero for odd p, while for p = 2 the defect is the bracket
[D x, x]. This dyadic defect is not a degree-zero accident of the operator π alone: the
deviation carries it into the degree m + 1 for every m, and it is the reason the
basis-modification maps of the theory of Demushkin groups acquire an extra bracket term at
p = 2.
At m = 0 the congruence hypothesis is empty, so every continuous endomorphism θ has a graded
deviation, which is then the difference θ_* - id between the induced graded map and the identity.
It is still additive, but it is no longer a derivation: in degree zero the Leibniz rule picks up
the quadratic correction D [x, y] = [D x, y] - [D y, x] + [D x, D y], because
[x + D x, y + D y] expands bilinearly. This is the level at which the basis modifications of a
free pro-p group are arbitrary endomorphisms, and the correction is what makes the
basis-modification map in degree one quadratic rather than linear.
The motivating case is a free pro-p group F on generators x_i and the endomorphism
x_i ↦ x_i * w_i with w_i ∈ λ_m(F), which moves a relator r ∈ λ_1(F) inside its coset by an
element of λ_{m+1}(F) whose class is D_1 ρ, for ρ ∈ gr_1(F) the class of r. That case is
developed in

The deviation of an endomorphism congruent to the identity #
An endomorphism congruent to the identity modulo λ_m is congruent to the identity modulo
λ_{m+k} on λ_k.
The graded deviation D_k : gr_k(G) →+ gr_{m+k}(G) of an endomorphism θ congruent to
the identity modulo λ_m: the map induced by g ↦ g⁻¹ * θ g. Its defining equation is
TauCeti.gradedDeviation_gradedMk. For m ≥ 1 it is a derivation of the graded structure
(TauCeti.gradedDeviation_gradedBracket), compatible with π away from degree zero
(TauCeti.gradedDeviation_gradedPow_of_one_le) and with the binomial defect
(p choose 2) • [D x, x] in degree zero (TauCeti.gradedDeviation_gradedPow_zero).

Instances For
The graded deviation on classes: the defining equation of TauCeti.gradedDeviation.
The graded deviation in degree zero: the class of g goes to the class of g⁻¹ * θ g in
gr_m(G).
An endomorphism congruent to the identity modulo λ_m with m ≥ 1 induces the identity on
every graded piece: its deviation on λ_k lies in λ_{m+k} ≤ λ_{k+1}.
The Leibniz rule. For m ≥ 1 the graded deviation is a derivation of the bracket:
D [x, y] = [D x, y] + [x, D y], with the two terms transported to the degree m + (j + k + 1).
The cross term ⁅x⁻¹ * θ x, y⁻¹ * θ y⁆ has degree 2m + j + k + 1, which is above
m + j + k + 1 exactly when m ≥ 1.
The Leibniz rule in degree zero, in the cast-free form
D [x, y] = [D x, y] - [D y, x] for x, y ∈ gr_0(G) and m ≥ 1, using skew-symmetry of the
bracket to put both terms in gr_{m+1}(G).
The graded deviation commutes with π above degree zero, for every m: for k ≥ 1,
D (π x) = π (D x), because ⁅x, x⁻¹ * θ x⁆ has degree m + 2k + 1 ≥ m + k + 2.
The graded deviation against π in degree zero:
D (π x) = π (D x) + (p choose 2) • [D x, x] in gr_{m+1}(G). This is the binomial formula
(x * u) ^ p = x ^ p * u ^ p * ⁅u, x⁆ ^ (p choose 2) of nilpotency class two, read modulo
λ_{m+2}, where the class of ⁅u, x⁆ ∈ λ_{m+1} is central.
The graded deviation commutes with π in degree zero for odd p: the defect
(p choose 2) • [D x, x] is a multiple of p • [D x, x] = 0.
The dyadic defect of the graded deviation against π in degree zero. For p = 2,
D (π x) = π (D x) + [D x, x] in gr_{m+1}(G): the square of x * u is x ^ 2 * u ^ 2 * ⁅u, x⁆
up to λ_{m+2}, and the commutator does not vanish in gr_{m+1}(G) in general.
The deviation of an arbitrary continuous endomorphism #
The graded deviation of an arbitrary endomorphism is the graded map minus the identity.
Every continuous endomorphism θ is congruent to the identity modulo λ_0 = G, and its deviation
in degree k is D_k x = θ_* x - x, with the degrees 0 + k and k identified.
The graded deviation of an arbitrary endomorphism in degree zero: D_0 x = θ_* x - x.
The graded deviation of an arbitrary endomorphism in degree one: D_1 x = θ_* x - x.
The Leibniz rule in degree zero for an arbitrary endomorphism, with its quadratic
correction: D [x, y] = [D x, y] - [D y, x] + [D x, D y] for x, y ∈ gr_0(G). The correction
[D x, D y] is the bilinear expansion of [x + D x, y + D y] - [x, y]; for an endomorphism
congruent to the identity modulo λ_1 it vanishes, and the rule is
TauCeti.gradedDeviation_gradedBracket_zero.
