Lubin's formal-group conjecture for commuting p-adic power series

Let f\mathfrak{f} and u\mathfrak{u} be a non-invertible and a non-torsion invertible series, respectively, defined over the ring of integers O\mathcal{O} of a finite extension of Qp\mathbf{Q}_p. Suppose that the roots of f\mathfrak{f} and all of its iterates are simple, and that f(0)\mathfrak{f}'(0) is a uniformizer in O\mathcal{O}. Lubin's conjecture. If

fu=uf,\mathfrak{f}\circ \mathfrak{u}=\mathfrak{u}\circ \mathfrak{f},

then there is a formal group law F/OF/\mathcal{O} such that

f,uEndO(F).\mathfrak{f},\mathfrak{u}\in\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal{O}}(F).

The conjecture seeks to make precise Lubin's philosophy that a formal group should underlie commuting non-invertible and non-torsion invertible power series. The preliminary assertion that the formal group associated to an invertible series is defined over Zp\mathbf{Z}_p is false, with counterexamples known over finite extensions; the stated integrality criterion remains unresolved in the supplied source.
