Torsion-freeness of the formal group over Qp for odd p
ID: torsion-freeness-of-the-formal-group-over-qp-for-odd-p
For odd , a one-dimensional formal group law over has a formal logarithm with . This follows by integrating its integral invariant differential. For , for . Hence the series converges and , so its kernel is zero. As it is a homomorphism into a characteristic-zero additive group, there is no nonzero torsion. In particular, at an odd prime of good reduction over , reduction injects the whole rational torsion subgroup, including its -primary part.
