The ℤ_p-bilinear graded bracket of a pro-p group #
Let G be a pro-p group and λ_n the lower q-series of G, for any q. Each graded piece
λ_n / λ_{n+1} is an abelian pro-p group, hence carries a canonical ℤ_p-module structure.
Taking a p-adic power in either argument of a commutator acts on its class by the same p-adic
exponent, so the graded bracket is ℤ_p-bilinear.

The graded-piece module is the canonical module on its underlying abelian pro-p quotient.
In a pro-p group, the class of a p-adic power in a graded piece of the lower q-series is
the corresponding ℤ_p-scalar multiple.
In a pro-p group, the degree-zero class of a p-adic power is the corresponding
ℤ_p-scalar multiple.
Modulo λ_{j+k+2}, taking a p-adic power in the left input of a commutator is the same
as taking that power of the commutator.
Modulo λ_{j+k+2}, taking a p-adic power in the right input of a commutator is the same
as taking that power of the commutator.
Taking a p-adic power in the first argument of the graded bracket takes the same power of
the bracket class. This is ℤ_p-linearity in the first variable on representatives.
Taking a p-adic power in the second argument of the graded bracket takes the same power of
the bracket class. This is ℤ_p-linearity in the second variable on representatives.

The brackets [a^{-u}, b] and [a, b^u] of degree-zero classes cancel: both are the
p-adic power, with opposite exponents, of the class of the commutator ⁅a, b⁆.
The class of the commutator of the inverse of a conjugated p-adic power c⁻¹ y ^ u c with
the inverse of x ∈ λ_m is u times the graded bracket of the classes of y and x.
