Let be a fixed prime number.
Let be a ring. Then the assignation
sending a k-ring? to the multiplicative group of formal power series with coefficients in and constant term is an affine k-group. As a k-functor? is equivalent to .
There is an exact sequence
We have .
Each is is an -fold extension of the additive group .
If is a field then is a unipotent group.
For there is an isomorphism of -schemes
If and we have and is an isomorphism .
If is a field with characteristic it is not possible an such that . However there is always a formula where . This is verified by Möbius inversion.
(Möbius inversion) Let be the Möbius function. Then Möbius inversion gives
The Artin-Hasse exponential is defined by the morphism
We have where
, can be uniquely written as
where
The -group is isomorphic to the n/(n,p)=1-power of the subgroup image of .
By base-change a similar statement applies to . This shows that the Artin-Hasse exponential plays over a similar role as the usual exponential over .
