Abstract

We study the action of substitution maps between power series rings as an additional algebraic structure on the groups of Hasse–Schmidt derivations. This structure appears as a counterpart of the module structure on classical derivations.

Dedicated to Antonio Campillo on the ocassion of his 65th birthday

Notes

  1. 1.

    Pay attention that (φ + φ′)(r) ≠ φ(r) + φ′(r) for arbitrary r ∈ A[[s]].

  2. 2.

    Let us notice that there are canonical continuous isomorphisms of A-algebras \(A[[{\mathbf {s}}\sqcup {\mathbf {u}}]]_{\nabla \times \nabla '} \simeq A[[{\mathbf {s}}]]_\nabla \widehat {\otimes }_A A[[{\mathbf {u}}]]_{\nabla '}\), \(A[[{\mathbf {s}}\sqcup {\mathbf {u}}]]_{\varDelta \times \varDelta '} \simeq A[[{\mathbf {s}}]]_\varDelta \widehat {\otimes }_A A[[{\mathbf {u}}]]_{\varDelta '}\).

  3. 3.

    This terminology is used for instance in [8].

  4. 4.

    These HS-derivations are called of length m in [10].

  5. 5.

    Actually, here an equality holds since the 0-term of E (as a series) is 1.

  6. 6.

    Let us notice that \(\{E\in \operatorname {\mathrm {HS}}^{\mathbf {s}}_k(A;\varDelta )\ |\ \ell (E) > r\} = \ker \tau _{\varDelta ,\varDelta _r}\).

  7. 7.

    The map π can be also understood as the truncation τ Δ,{0} : A[[t]]Δ → A[[t]]{0} = A.
