A one-dimensional commutative formal group law over is a power series satisfying
A morphism is a series satisfying
If , the invertible morphism criterion for formal group laws says that is an isomorphism whenever . Indeed, recursive coefficient comparison constructs a unique compositional inverse ; applying to the morphism identity shows that is a morphism in the opposite direction.
The multiplication series has
Since , its linear coefficient is a unit, so is an automorphism of the group . Its kernel is therefore zero, and
