Abstract

Let GG be a commutative algebraic group defined over a number field KK that is disjoint over KK to Ga\mathbb G_a and satisfies the condition of semistability. Consider a linear form ll on the Lie algebra of GG with algebraic coefficients and an algebraic point uu in a pp-adic neighbourhood of the origin with the condition that ll does not vanish at uu. We give a lower bound for the pp-adic absolute value of l(u)l(u) which depends up to an effectively computable constant only on the height of the linear form, the height of the point uu and pp.
