Leading terms of Witt vector multiplication

The goal of this file is to study the leading terms of the formula for the n+1st coefficient of a product of Witt vectors x and y over a ring of characteristic p. We aim to isolate the n+1st coefficients of x and y, and express the rest of the product in terms of a function of the lower coefficients.

For most of this file we work with terms of type MvPolynomial (Fin 2 × ℕ) ℤ. We will eventually evaluate them in k, but first we must take care of a calculation that needs to happen in characteristic 0.

Main declarations

• WittVector.nth_mul_coeff: expresses the coefficient of a product of Witt vectors in terms of the previous coefficients of the multiplicands.

def WittVector.wittPolyProd (p n : ℕ) : MvPolynomial (Fin 2 × ℕ) ℤ

(∑ i ∈ range n, (y.coeff i)^(p^(n-i)) * p^i.val) *
(∑ i ∈ range n, (y.coeff i)^(p^(n-i)) * p^i.val)

Equations

• WittVector.wittPolyProd p n = (MvPolynomial.rename (Prod.mk 0)) (wittPolynomial p ℤ n) * (MvPolynomial.rename (Prod.mk 1)) (wittPolynomial p ℤ n)

def WittVector.wittPolyProdRemainder (p : ℕ) [hp : Fact (Nat.Prime p)] (n : ℕ) : MvPolynomial (Fin 2 × ℕ) ℤ

The "remainder term" of WittVector.wittPolyProd. See mul_polyOfInterest_aux2.

Equations

• WittVector.wittPolyProdRemainder p n = ∑ i ∈ Finset.range n, ↑p ^ i * WittVector.wittMul p i ^ p ^ (n - i)

theorem WittVector.wittPolyProdRemainder_vars (p : ℕ) [hp : Fact (Nat.Prime p)] (n : ℕ) : (WittVector.wittPolyProdRemainder p n).vars ⊆ Finset.univ ×ˢ Finset.range n

def WittVector.remainder (p n : ℕ) : MvPolynomial (Fin 2 × ℕ) ℤ

remainder p n represents the remainder term from mul_polyOfInterest_aux3. wittPolyProd p (n+1) will have variables up to n+1, but remainder will only have variables up to n.
