We first provide a detailed proof of Kato's classification theorem of log $p$-divisible groups over a noetherian henselian local ring. Exploring Kato's idea further, we then define the notion of a standard extension of a classical finite…
The sandpile group of a connected graph is the group of recurrent configurations in the abelian sandpile model on this graph. We study the structure of this group for the case of regular trees. A description of this group is the following:…
