= Completed group algebra
{title2=$R[[G]]$}

For a profinite group $G$ and a finite or profinite coefficient ring $R$, the completed group algebra is
$$
R[[G]]=\varprojlim_{U\trianglelefteq_oG}R[G/U],
$$
where $U$ ranges over the open normal subgroups. It records convergent noncommutative power series in topological generators of $G$.
