Witt vectors and Fermat quotients
2008
Abstract We give a representation of any integer as a vector of the Witt ring W ( Z p ) and relate it to the Fermat quotient q ( n ) = ( n p − 1 − 1 ) / p . Logarithms are introduced in order to establish an isomorphism between the commutative unipotent groups 1 + p W ( Z p ) and W ( Z p ) .
