An Infinitesimal pp-adic Multiplicative Manin-Mumford Conjecture

Our results concern analytic functions on the open unit $p$-adic poly-disc in $\mathbb{C}^n_p$ centered at the multiplicative unit and we prove that such functions only vanish at finitely many $n$-tuples of roots of unity $(\zeta_1-1,\ldots,\zeta_n-1)$ unless they vanish along a translate of the formal multiplicative group. For polynomial functions, this follows from the multiplicative Manin-Mumford conjecture. However we allow for a much wider class of analytic functions; in particular we establish a rigidity result for formal tori. Moreover, our methods apply to Lubin-Tate formal groups beyond just the formal multiplicative group and we extend the results to this setting.Comment: 14 pages, minor corrections, slightly strengthened the statement of the main theorem.
