Does there exist an upper triangular set of gens of $ k[[X]] $ for a unipotent formal group acting on $ \operatorname{Spec}(k[[X]]) $?
For this post I define a formal group to be a group object in the category of formal schemes.
Let $ G $ be a linear algebraic group with affine coordinate ring $ k[G] $. If $ \mathfrak{m}_{e} $ is ...

What's the relation between pseudo-compact and admissible rings?
We recall two definitions. Let $A$ be a linearly topologized ring which is complete and Hausdorff.
We say that $A$ is pseudo-compact if, for every open ideal $I\subset A$, the ring $A/I$ is artinian. ...
