The canonical character of the even-rank dyadic normal form 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, and reading the invariants of the group it presents off that relator needs its
canonical character. The word TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEvenPadic of
TauCeti.Topology.Algebra.Group.Profinite.Demushkin.NormalForm.Two.Even.PadicExponent.Basic
realises this relator, with x₁^{2+α} the 2-adic power TauCeti.IsProP.padicPow and the tail
x₃^q (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n) for a natural number q, even whenever the factor x₃^q is
present (2 < n), so that q = 2^f is Labute's level f and q = 0 is the level f = ∞; by
TauCeti.hasPrescriptionProperty_presentedProP_demushkinWordTwoEvenPadic_iff of
TauCeti.Topology.Algebra.Group.Profinite.Demushkin.NormalForm.Prescription, a continuous
character of the pro-2 group it presents has the prescription property exactly when
χ(x₂)(1 + α) = -1, χ(x₄)(1 - q) = 1 whenever the factor x₃^q is present (2 < n), and
χ(x_i) = 1 otherwise. This file proves Labute's Theorem 4 and its corollary for that group:
- the presented group has exactly one character with the prescription property, the orientation
TauCeti.orientationTwoEvenPadicwith those values; - the image of that character is
{±1} × U^(f)whenq = 2^fwith2 ≤ fand2^f ∣ α, the twisted subgroupU^[g]generated by-1 + 2^gwheng = v₂(α) ≥ 2is smaller than the level (including the levelf = ∞, that isq = 0), and{±1}whenα = 0andq = 0.
Read on the canonical character of a Demushkin group isomorphic to the presented group, the table
gives the marking of the generators and the image invariant, and in particular identifies the
endpoint of the even-rank dyadic family: a Demushkin group isomorphic to
⟨x₁, …, xₙ ∣ x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂) x₃^q (x₃, x₄) ⋯⟩ with 4 ∣ α and, as soon as the factor x₃^q
is present, q ∈ {0} ∪ {2^f : f ≥ 2}, has orientation image {±1} only when α = 0 and, as soon
as the factor x₃^q is present (2 < n), q = 0
(TauCeti.IsDemushkin.eq_zero_and_eq_zero_of_range_demushkinCharacter_eq_zpowers_neg_one), in
which case its relator is x₁² (x₁, x₂)(x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n)
(TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEvenPadic_zero_zero, and x₁² (x₁, x₂) at n = 2 by
TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEvenPadic_two).

The orientation of the presented group #
The orientation of the even dyadic normal form with 2-adic exponent and marked values v,
u: the continuous character of the pro-2 group presented on n generators by
x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂) x₃^q (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n) with χ(x₂) = v, χ(x₄) = u and χ(x_i) = 1
otherwise. The canonical character is the case v = -(1 + α)⁻¹, u = (1 - q)⁻¹.
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
The value of the orientation on the generators.
The orientation takes x₂ to its marked value v.
The orientation takes x₄ to its marked value u.
The orientation is trivial on every generator other than x₂ and x₄.
The image of the orientation is the closed subgroup generated by its marked values v and
u, as soon as the generator x₄ exists.
The orientation with the canonical values has the prescription property: for 3 < n, the
character with χ(x₂) = v, v (1 + α) = -1, χ(x₄) = u, u (1 - q) = 1, and χ(x_i) = 1
otherwise.
The orientation with the canonical value has the prescription property in rank two: for
the relator x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂), the character with χ(x₂) = v, v (1 + α) = -1, and χ(x₁) = 1,
whatever q, which does not enter the rank-two relator, and the unused marked value u.
Uniqueness of the canonical character: for α even, n ≥ 2 even and q even whenever
the factor x₃^q is present (2 < n), a character with the prescription property is the
orientation with marked values its own values χ(x₂) and χ(x₄).
The presented group has exactly one character with the prescription property (Labute,
Theorem 4, for the normal form x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂) x₃^q (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n) with α even,
n ≥ 2 even and q even whenever the factor x₃^q is present (2 < n)): the orientation with
χ(x₂) = -(1 + α)⁻¹ and, when the factor x₃^q is present (2 < n), χ(x₄) = (1 - q)⁻¹. At
n = 2 the generator x₄ does not exist and only the value χ(x₂) is prescribed.
The image table #
The image of the canonical character when q = 2^f and 2^f ∣ α is {±1} × U^(f), for
f ≥ 2 and n ≥ 4 even: any character with the prescription property takes x₂ to
-(1 + α)⁻¹ ∈ -U^(f) and x₄ to (1 - 2^f)⁻¹. This includes α = 0.
The image of the canonical character when v₂(α) = g is smaller than the level is the
twisted subgroup U^[g], the closed subgroup generated by -1 + 2^g, for g ≥ 2 and n ≥ 4
even. The level is encoded by q, and the hypothesis 2^(g+1) ∣ q is stated for every such
multiple; it includes the normal-form cases q = 2^f with f > g and q = 0, the level f = ∞.
The character takes x₂ to -(1 + α)⁻¹, which generates U^[g], and x₄ to
(1 - q)⁻¹ ∈ U^(g+1) ≤ U^[g].
The image of the canonical character at α = 0 and q = 0 is {±1}, for n ≥ 2 even,
q = 0 being required only when the factor x₃^q is present (2 < n): the relator is
x₁² (x₁, x₂)(x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n), the endpoint f = ∞ of the even dyadic family, and the
character takes x₂ to -1 and every other generator to 1.
At rank two the image of the canonical character is procyclic, generated by χ(x₂): for
the relator x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂) with α even, any character with the prescription property is
trivial on x₁, so its image is the closed subgroup generated by its value -(1 + α)⁻¹ on x₂.

even and q even whenever the factor x₃^q is present (2 < n), the canonical character of G
satisfies χ(x₂)(1 + α) = -1, χ(x₄)(1 - q) = 1 when the factor x₃^q is present, and
χ(x_i) = 1 otherwise, the generators being read back in G through e⁻¹.
A Demushkin group isomorphic to the even dyadic normal form with q = 2^f and 2^f ∣ α has
orientation image {±1} × U^(f), for f ≥ 2 and n ≥ 4 even.
A Demushkin group isomorphic to the even dyadic normal form with v₂(α) = g below the level
has orientation image U^[g], the closed subgroup generated by -1 + 2^g, for g ≥ 2 and
n ≥ 4 even; the hypothesis 2^(g+1) ∣ q is stated for every such multiple and includes the
normal-form cases q = 2^f with f > g and q = 0.
A Demushkin group isomorphic to the even dyadic normal form with α = 0 and q = 0 has
orientation image {±1}, for n ≥ 2 even, q = 0 being required only when the factor x₃^q
is present (2 < n): the relator is x₁² (x₁, x₂)(x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n), the endpoint f = ∞
of the even dyadic family.
The image {±1} pins the endpoint of the even dyadic family. If a Demushkin group is
isomorphic to ⟨x₁, …, xₙ ∣ x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂) x₃^q (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n)⟩ with 4 ∣ α and,
as soon as the factor x₃^q is present (2 < n), with q = 0 or q = 2^f for some f ≥ 2, and
its canonical character has image {±1}, then α = 0, and q = 0 as soon as the factor x₃^q
is present (at n = 2 the relator x₁^{2+α} (x₁, x₂) does not involve q). The relator is then
x₁² (x₁, x₂)(x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n) (TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEvenPadic_zero_zero, and
TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEvenPadic_two at n = 2).
