Weighted group algebra of a uniform pro-p group

ID: weighted-group-algebra-of-a-uniform-pro-p-group

Choose ordered minimal topological generators of a uniform pro-p group for odd , put , and choose . Ordered monomials give power-series coordinates in the integral completed group algebra. The displayed Non-Archimedean absolute value filtration gives a complete normed -algebra after completion of the rational group algebra. The power relation raises valuation by one, and interchanging adds terms of valuation at least , so multiplication does not decrease total valuation. The p-adic logarithm and p-adic exponential are inverse on the relevant small balls. In particular is a faithful realization of the Lie algebra of a uniform pro-p group, useful for verifying its intrinsic limit operations and the Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff formula without assuming the correspondence in advance.
