Coleman trace operator ($\phi \psi (f)=p^{-1}{\sum }_{{\xi }^p=1}f(\xi (1+T)-1)$)

In the unique decomposition $f={\sum }_{i=0}^{p-1}(1+T{)}^i\phi (f_i)$, define $\psi (f)=f_0$. Averaging translates over the p-th roots of unity annihilates every nonzero basis index and retains the zeroth, proving the displayed identity and its integrality. Thus $\psi \phi =1$ and $\psi (\phi (g)f)=g\psi (f)$. Under the Amice transform, $\psi =0$ characterizes measures supported on ${\mathbb{Z}}_p^{\times }$.
