Fesenko group
In mathematics, Fesenko groups are certain subgroups of the wild automorphism groups of local fields of positive characteristic (i.e. the Nottingham group), studied by Ivan Fesenko (Fesenko (1999)).
The Fesenko group F(Fp) is a closed subgroup of the Nottingham group N(Fp) consisting of formal power series t + a2t1+2p+a3t1+3p+... with coefficients in Fp. The group multiplication is induced from that of the Nottingham group and is given by substitution.
The group multiplication is not abelian. This group is torsion free (Fesenko (1999)), unlike the Nottingham group. This group is a finitely generated pro-p-group and a hereditarily just infinite group (Fesenko (1999)). Thus, it is another representative of the 4th class of hereditarily just infinite groups, together with the Nottingham group and the Grigorchuk group, according to the conjectural classification of this group by Charles Leedham-Green. The Fesenko group is of finite width (Griffin (2005)). It can be realized as the Galois group of an arithmetically profinite extension of local fields (Fesenko (1999)), while it is still unknown whether the Nottingham group shares the same property.
