The maximal pro-p quotient of the profinite integers is ℤ_p #
The maximal pro-p quotient of the profinite integers ℤ̂ is the additive group of the p-adic
integers, maximalProPQuotient p zHat ≃ₜ* Multiplicative ℤ_[p], by an isomorphism carrying the
class of the generator zHat.gen to 1. Since a Sylow pro-p subgroup of a commutative
profinite group maps isomorphically onto the maximal pro-p quotient, every p-Sylow subgroup
of ℤ̂ is topologically isomorphic to ℤ_p.
Equivalently, the quotient is the inverse limit of the finite cyclic groups
Multiplicative (ZMod (p ^ n)). The comparison is the composite with the inverse-limit
presentation of ℤ_[p], and sends the class of zHat.gen to the compatible family of ones.
These are the rank-one instances of the pro-p theory: a continuous homomorphism from ℤ̂ to
a pro-p group factors through ℤ_p, and the p-part of ℤ̂ may be read off from either the
quotient or a Sylow subgroup.

The maximal pro-p quotient of ℤ̂ is ℤ_p. The isomorphism
maximalProPQuotient p zHat ≃ₜ* Multiplicative ℤ_[p] is induced by the inclusion ℤ → ℤ_[p]
and carries the class of the generator to 1; its inverse is the p-adic power of that class.
Both groups represent the same functor on pro-p groups, a continuous homomorphism out of
either being an element of the target, which is what forces the two to agree.

Instances For
The isomorphism from the maximal pro-p quotient of ℤ̂ to ℤ_p is the factorisation of
the lift of 1 ∈ ℤ_[p] through the quotient map.
The isomorphism from the maximal pro-p quotient of ℤ̂ to ℤ_p sends the class of the
generator to 1.
The inverse isomorphism from ℤ_p to the maximal pro-p quotient of ℤ̂ is the p-adic
power of the class of the generator.
The maximal pro-p quotient of ℤ̂ is the inverse limit of ℤ/p^nℤ. This is the
canonical comparison obtained by taking all residues of the p-adic integer associated to an
element of the maximal pro-p quotient.

The inverse-limit comparison takes a class from ℤ̂ to the compatible family of residues
of its image in ℤ_p.
The inverse-limit comparison sends the class of the generator of ℤ̂ to the compatible
family of residues of 1.
The nth coordinate of the inverse-limit comparison is reduction modulo p ^ n after
the canonical map from ℤ̂ to ℤ_p.
Each coordinate of the image of the generator of ℤ̂ in the inverse limit is 1.
The supernatural order of ℤ̂ is ∏_ℓ ℓ ^ ∞, the greatest supernatural number. For
every prime ℓ, ℤ̂ maps continuously onto its maximal pro-ℓ quotient ℤ_ℓ, whose order is
ℓ ^ ∞.
Every p-Sylow subgroup of ℤ̂ is ℤ_p: the quotient map to the maximal pro-p
quotient restricts to a topological group isomorphism from the Sylow subgroup, and that quotient
is the additive group of ℤ_[p].
