A one-dimensional commutative formal group law over is a power series satisfyingFor , the ideal becomes a group, denoted , under ; convergence follows because both inputs lie in the maximal ideal.
Over the characteristic-zero field , there is a unique formal logarithmsatisfying . Its coefficients have bounded denominator growth, so for sufficiently large both and its inverse formal group exponential converge on and preserve that ideal. They givewhere the final isomorphism is multiplication by .
