Dimensions of Zassenhaus filtration subquotients of some pro-p-groups

Israel Journal of Mathematics volume 212, pages 825–855 (2016)Cite this article

Abstract

We compute the F p -dimension of an n-th graded piece G (n)/G(n+1) of the Zassenhaus filtration for various finitely generated pro-p-groups G. These groups include finitely generated free pro-p-groups, Demushkin pro-p-groups and their free pro-p products. We provide a unifying principle for deriving these dimensions.
