Prime-multiplication coefficient splitting for formal groups

ID: prime-multiplication-coefficient-splitting-for-formal-groups

For a formal group law over any commutative ring , the invariant differential of a formal group law satisfies . Its coefficient is a unit in a ring, so . If , this means . When , the integer Bézout's identity implies , even if is a zero divisor. Put those coefficients into and the exponents divisible by into .
