formal multiplicative group in nLab
Contents
Definition
The formal group of the multiplicative group .
Its formal group law f(x,y)∈R[[x,y]]f(x,y) \in R[ [x,y] ] is
f(x,y)=x+y+xy, f(x,y) = x + y + x y \,,
Examples
The formal group law of topological K-theory which is induced by its canonical complex orientation is the multiplicative formal group law. See at topological K-theory the section Complex orientation and Formal group law
