Lie algebra associated with the group of finitary automorphisms of \(p\)-adic tree. (Q618244): Difference between revisions

Let \(p\) be an odd prime, and \(T\) be the \(p\)-adic rooted tree. Consider the group of finitary automorphisms of \(T\), and let \(FP_\infty\) be its Sylow \(p\)-subgroup. In the paper under review the fully invariant subgroups of \(FP_\infty\) are characterized, and as a result descriptions of the lower central series and of the Lazard series of \(FP_\infty\) are given. The graded Lie algebra associated to \(FP_\infty\) with respect to the lower central series is then studied in detail, and described in terms of a tableau representation. Among other results, a characterization of the fully invariant ideals of this Lie algebra as parallelotopic subalgebras is given.
