Integral lifting of the corrected cyclotomic logarithm

ID: integral-lifting-of-the-corrected-cyclotomic-logarithm

Let , odd, and . An element is the Frobenius-corrected logarithm of a unit with if and only if . Necessity follows by differentiating at zero, using . For sufficiency put and solve . Choose . The linear equation reduces to , so is free. In degree the unknown has coefficient . The remaining terms are divisible by because reduction of any integral truncated satisfies . Division gives a unique integral . Two lifts differ by , , as follows from the logarithmic equation in the coordinate . If also , the Coleman trace operator gives . As , injectivity of the p-adic logarithm implies .
