Rational formal group laws (Q1174481)

The authors give an elementary proof of the theorem that every rational formal group law over an algebraically closed field \(K\) of characteristic zero is of the form \(L^{-1}G(L(x)\), \(L(y))\) where \(G(x,y)\) is either \(x+y\) or \(x+y+xy\) and \(L\) is a linear functional transformation over \(K\) such that \(L(0)=0\). The authors derive a description of all rational formal group laws over fields of characteristic zero.
