Witt vector

In mathematics, a Witt vector is an infinite sequence of elements of a commutative ring. Ernst Witt showed how to put a ring structure on the set of Witt vectors, in such a way that the ring of Witt vectors over the finite field of order is the ring of -adic integers. They have a highly non-intuitive structure upon first glance because their additive and multiplicative structure depends on an infinite set of recursive formulas which do not behave like addition and multiplication formulas for standard p-adic integers. The main idea behind Witt vectors is instead of using the standard -adic expansion to represent an element in , we can instead consider an expansion using the Teichmüller character which sends each element in the solution set of in to an element in the solution set of in . That is, we expand out elements in in terms of roots of unity instead of as profinite elements in . We can then express a -adic integer as an infinite sum which gives a Witt vector Then, the non-trivial additive and multiplicative structure in Witt vectors comes from using this map to give an additive and multiplicative structure such that induces a commutative ring morphism.

1 Vectors

A short refresher on vectors. Before I introduce vector-based functions, it's important to look at vectors themselves and how they are represented in python™ and the IPython Notebook using SymPy.

Multivariable Calculus | The projection of a vector.

We define the projection of a vector in a certain direction. As an application we decompose a vector into the sum of a parallel and orthogonal component. http://www.michael-penn.net http://www.randolphcollege.edu/mathematics/

Wittferentiation

Replacing the ring A[t]/(t^2) with truncated witt vectors gives rise to derivative-like operations on the integers. This is the driving idea behind Buium's "Arithmetic Differential Equations" (they should be called wittferential equations!).
