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.

    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].
