The lower $p$-series of analytic pro-$p$ groups and Hausdorff dimension

Group Theory 2025-09-11 v3

Abstract

Let GG be a pp-adic analytic pro-pp group of dimension dd. We produce an approximate series which descends regularly in strata and whose terms deviate from the lower pp-series in a uniformly bounded way. This brings to light a new set of rational invariants, canonically associated to GG, that yield the aforementioned uniform bound and that restrict the possible values for the Hausdorff dimensions of closed subgroups of GG with respect to the lower pp-series. In particular, the Hausdorff spectrum of GG with respect to the lower pp-series is discrete and consists of at most 2d2^d rational numbers.
