The ℓ-adic components of the profinite integers #
For a prime ℓ, the ring of profinite integers Additive zHat maps onto the ring of ℓ-adic
integers: the projections zHat.toZMod (ℓ ^ k) onto the finite levels ZMod (ℓ ^ k) are
compatible along the reduction maps, so Mathlib's inverse-limit universal property of ℤ_[ℓ]
(PadicInt.lift) assembles them into a ring homomorphism
zHat.component ℓ : Additive zHat →+* ℤ_[ℓ],
characterized by PadicInt.toZModPow k (zHat.component ℓ a) = zHat.toZMod (ℓ ^ k) a
(zHat.toZModPow_component, uniquely by zHat.component_unique).
The same map has a group-theoretic description: read multiplicatively, it is the continuous
homomorphism zHat.lift (ofAdd 1) from zHat to the pro-ℓ group Multiplicative ℤ_[ℓ]
(zHat.component_apply). Hence the component is continuous and surjective, and Tau Ceti's
identification zHat.maximalProPQuotientEquivPadicInt of the maximal pro-ℓ quotient of zHat
with ℤ_[ℓ] sends the class of a to zHat.component ℓ a
(zHat.maximalProPQuotientEquivPadicInt_mk_eq_component): the ℓ-adic part of the profinite
integers has one description, not two.

The ℓ-adic component of a profinite integer. The projections of Additive zHat onto
the levels ZMod (ℓ ^ k) are compatible along the reduction maps, so the inverse-limit
universal property of ℤ_[ℓ] (PadicInt.lift) assembles them into a ring homomorphism
Additive zHat →+* ℤ_[ℓ]. It is characterized by zHat.toZModPow_component.
Equations
Instances For
The characterizing equation of the component. Reducing the ℓ-adic component of a
modulo ℓ ^ k is reducing a modulo ℓ ^ k.
Uniqueness of the component. A ring homomorphism Additive zHat →+* ℤ_[ℓ] whose
reduction modulo every ℓ ^ k is reduction modulo ℓ ^ k is the component.
The component is the lift of 1 ∈ ℤ_[ℓ]. Read multiplicatively, the ℓ-adic component
is the continuous homomorphism from zHat to Multiplicative ℤ_[ℓ] sending the generator to
ofAdd 1.
The lift of 1 ∈ ℤ_[ℓ] from zHat to Multiplicative ℤ_[ℓ] is the ℓ-adic component,
read multiplicatively.
The ℓ-adic component is continuous.
Agreement with the maximal pro-ℓ quotient. Tau Ceti's identification of the maximal
pro-ℓ quotient of zHat with ℤ_[ℓ] sends the class of a profinite integer to its ℓ-adic
component.
The ℓ-adic component is surjective: it is the identification of the maximal pro-ℓ
quotient of zHat with ℤ_[ℓ], after the quotient map.
