Collusions in Teichm\"uller expansions

Publication date 25 April 2017

Abstract: If

m a t h f r a k p s u b s e t e q m a t h b b Z [z e t a]

is a prime ideal over

p

in the

(p^{d} - 1)

th cyclotomic extension of

m a t h b b Z

, then every element

a l p h a

of the completion

m a t h b b Z [z e t a]_{m} a t h f r a k p

has a unique expansion as a power series in

p

with coefficients in

m u_{p^{d} - 1} c u p 0

called the Teichm"uller expansion of

a l p h a

at

m a t h f r a k p

. We observe three peculiar and seemingly unrelated patterns that frequently appear in the computation of Teichm"uller expansions, then develop a unifying theory to explain these patterns in terms of the dynamics of an affine group action on

m a t h b b Z [z e t a]

.
