Canonical Coleman decomposition of power-series units

ID: canonical-coleman-decomposition-of-power-series-units

Let be the subgroup fixed by the Coleman norm operator. The Coleman norm-fixed lift gives the unique factorization , with . Multiplication consequently gives the displayed direct product of groups, while reduction identifies with . This is a decomposition of unit groups, not an identification of a power-series ring with a product of groups.
