For sufficiently large , the series for the p-adic logarithm and p-adic exponential converge on and and are inverse homomorphisms. Hence the principal-unit logarithm gives
where the last map is division by .
Now take and . This is a uniformizer, the residue field is , and its Teichmuller units are . Thus
The image of generates , and , so . The logarithm and exponential already converge inversely on , giving . Since , this proves the unit group of Q3 zeta3 decomposition
