Abstract

We prove a number of p-adic congruences for the coefficients of powers of a multivariate polynomial f(x) with coefficients in a ring R of characteristic zero. If the Hasse--Witt operation is invertible, our congruences yield p-adic limit formulas which conjecturally describe the Gauss--Manin connection and the Frobenius operator on the unit-root crystal attached to f(x). As a second application, we associate with f(x) formal group laws over R. Under certain assumptions these formal group laws are coordinalizations of the Artin--Mazur functors. (This is a final version which we send for a publication.)
