Let be a complete discrete valuation ring of residue characteristic of a field , with maximal ideal , and let be a one-dimensional formal group law over . Its multiplication series is . If , the invertible morphism criterion for formal group laws constructs its inverse with coefficients in . Both formal power series converge on , since their coefficients are integral and the powers of an element of tend to zero. Their compositions are the identity there. Thus multiplication by is bijective, including when and is odd. Every finite-order element of consequently has order of a group element equal to a prime power with prime .
