Lubin's formal-group conjecture for commuting power series

From papers

Let KK be a finite extension of Qp\mathbf{Q}_p, with ring of integers OK\mathcal{O}_K and maximal ideal mK\mathfrak{m}_K. Let P,UTOK[[T]]P,U\in T\cdot\mathcal{O}_K[[T]] satisfy

PU=UP,P\circ U=U\circ P,

with P(0)mKP'(0)\in\mathfrak{m}_K, U(0)OK×U'(0)\in\mathcal{O}_K^\times not a root of unity, and P(T)≢0(modmK)P(T)\not\equiv 0\pmod{\mathfrak{m}_K}. A formal group means a formal group law over the indicated ring, and PSP_S and USU_S denote endomorphisms of such a formal group SS. Lubin's conjecture. There exists a finite extension E/KE/K, a formal group SS defined over OE\mathcal{O}_E, endomorphisms PSP_S and USU_S of SS, and a power series h(T)TOE[[T]]h(T)\in T\mathcal{O}_E[[T]] such that

Ph=hPS,Uh=hUS.P\circ h=h\circ P_S,\qquad U\circ h=h\circ U_S.

The conjecture formalizes the expectation that an invertible power series commuting with a noninvertible one arises from a formal group in the background. Several cases were previously known, and the paper proves the conjecture in a new case; the general assertion stated here is not presented as fully resolved.
