Annette Huber, identified as Annette Huber-Klawitter on her institutional page, works in number theory and arithmetic geometry.^[ref] With Guido Kings and Niko Naumann, she developed integral and extension-field refinements of the Lazard isomorphism, relating continuous group cohomology to Lie algebra cohomology under stated hypotheses.^[ref]

The scientific use is a change of language: one can study suitable cohomology classes of a $p$-adic analytic group using alternating multilinear maps on its Lie algebra. Retaining integral coefficients is an extra achievement because passing to rational coefficients loses torsion elements information. The hypotheses in the comparison are therefore essential, rather than cosmetic generality.

Guido Kings is a mathematician working in number theory working in arithmetic geometry. In joint work with Annette Huber and Niko Naumann, he extended the Lazard isomorphism in two directions: to integral coefficients under additional hypotheses, and to analytic cochains over finite extensions $K/{\mathbb{Q}}_p$ compared with $K$-Lie algebra cohomology.^[ref]

This comparison replaces cohomological questions about a locally analytic group by questions about its infinitesimal Lie algebra, where linear and multilinear calculations are available. The base field matters: being analytic over $K$ is more restrictive than merely being analytic over ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$. His University of Regensburg page identifies his mathematical position and links to his research.^[ref]

The Lazard isomorphism compares continuous group cohomology of suitable $p$-adic analytic groups with Lie algebra cohomology of their associated Lie algebras. It converts a cohomological question about a nonlinear multiplication law into a calculation with alternating multilinear maps. The hypotheses matter: one cannot assert this comparison for every topological group.

One precise integral version takes a uniform pro-p group $G$ and a finite free ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$-module $M$. For odd $p$, require the continuous action to have image in $1+p\mathrm{End}(M)$; for $p=2$, use $1+4\mathrm{End}(M)$. With $\mathfrak{g}$ the associated integral Lazard Lie algebra,This is an integral refinement of the rational comparison.^[ref]

For the additive group $G={\mathbb{Z}}_p$ with trivial coefficients $M={\mathbb{Z}}_p$, continuous one-cocycles are $x\mapsto ax$. The associated rank-one abelian Lie algebra has $H^1\cong {\mathrm{Hom}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}_p}({\mathbb{Z}}_p,{\mathbb{Z}}_p)\cong {\mathbb{Z}}_p$, giving the same answer. Rationalizing coefficients alone would not establish an integral comparison in general.

In the setting of a uniform pro-p group $G$, its integral Lazard Lie algebra is a finite free ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$-module whose addition and Lie bracket recover infinitesimal versions of group multiplication and the group commutator. It carries more integral information than the associated ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$-Lie algebra. The construction requires hypotheses on the group and its filtration; it is not available unchanged for every profinite group.^[ref]

For odd $p$, a concrete example is $G=1+p{M}_n({\mathbb{Z}}_p)$. The convergent matrix logarithm and matrix exponential identify its Lie algebra with $p{M}_n({\mathbb{Z}}_p)$, using ordinary matrix addition and bracket $[A,B]=AB-BA$. Multiplication corresponds to the Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff formula, beginningFor $p=2$, the analogous safe neighborhood is $1+4M_n({\mathbb{Z}}_2)$ with Lie algebra $4M_n({\mathbb{Z}}_2)$. The smaller neighborhood $1+2{\mathbb{Z}}_2$ contains $-1$, so torsion already prevents it from being uniform.^[ref]

For the additive group ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$, the associated Lie algebra is rank one with zero bracket. Under suitable coefficient hypotheses, the Lazard isomorphism compares its Lie algebra cohomology with continuous group cohomology.

Niko Naumann works in arithmetic geometry and homotopy theory. With Annette Huber and Guido Kings, he refined the Lazard isomorphism, extending a comparison between continuous group cohomology and Lie algebra cohomology to integral coefficients under suitable hypotheses.^[ref]

The distinction between integral and rational coefficients matters: tensoring with ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$ can discard torsion elements, so a rational comparison does not automatically recover integral information. The same work also treats analytic cochains over finite extensions of ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$. Naumann's author page lists arithmetic algebraic geometry, motivic homotopy theory, and joint work on nilpotence and descent in equivariant stable homotopy theory.^[ref]
