The even-rank dyadic normal-form word with a 2-adic exponent #
Labute's normal form for the Demushkin relators with q = 2 of even rank n is
x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n)
with a 2-adic exponent α ∈ 4ℤ₂ and a level 2 ≤ f ≤ ∞, the factor x₃^{2^f} being absent at
f = ∞. The word TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEven carries a natural exponent 2 + a, which is all
the marked classification needs, because the group presented depends on α only through its
valuation. The successive-approximation argument, however, produces the relator with a genuine
2-adic exponent. This file introduces the word TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEvenPadic, in which
x₁^{2+α} is the 2-adic power TauCeti.IsProP.padicPow and the tail is
x₃^q (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n) for a natural number q, so that q = 2^f is Labute's level f
and q = 0 is the level f = ∞, on an arbitrary tuple of elements of a pro-2 group, and proves
its elementary properties: it is the natural-exponent word at α = a, q = 2^f, it is carried by
continuous homomorphisms of pro-2 groups, it is killed by the characters into commutative
pro-2 groups which are trivial on x₁ and whose value on x₃ has trivial q-th power, and for
α and q even it lies in the pro-2 Frattini subgroup.

The q = 2, n even normal-form word x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂) x₃^q (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n) with
a 2-adic exponent α, on a tuple x : ℕ → H of elements of a pro-2 group H, with x 0
playing the role of x₁. The power x₁^{2+α} is the 2-adic power of
TauCeti.IsProP.padicPow, and the exponent q of x₃ is the q-invariant of the tail relator:
q = 2^f is Labute's level f, and q = 0 is the level f = ∞, where the factor x₃^{2^f} is
absent. At a natural exponent α = a and q = 2^f the word is TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEven a f n
(TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEvenPadic_natCast).

Instances For
The defining equation of TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEvenPadic.
At a natural exponent α = a and q = 2^f, the word is the even dyadic normal-form word
x₁^{2+a} (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n) with natural exponent.
At rank two, on a tuple whose third entry is 1 (as for the canonical generator tuple
TauCeti.freeProPGen 2 2, whose third generator is out of range), the word is
x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂): the factor x₃^q is 1 by the hypothesis x 2 = 1, and the commutator
product beyond (x₁, x₂) is empty.
For n ≥ 2 the word splits as x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂) times the tail relator
x₃^q (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n), the q ≠ 2 normal-form word on n - 2 letters read on the tuple
shifted by two. This is the shape of the relator produced by the successive-approximation argument
for the dyadic relators of even rank.
At α = 0 and q = 0 the word is x₁² (x₁, x₂)(x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n), the q ≠ 2
normal-form word at q = 2: the even dyadic normal form at level f = ∞ with α = 0.
A continuous homomorphism of pro-2 groups reads the word on the image tuple.
In a commutative pro-2 group the word is x₁^{2+α} x₃^q.
A continuous character into a commutative pro-2 group which is trivial on x₁ and whose
value on x₃ has trivial q-th power kills the word.
For α and q even, the word lies in the pro-2 Frattini subgroup: x₁^{2+α} is a 2-adic
power with even exponent, x₃^q is a square and the remaining factors are commutators.
