A decomposition result for Lie groups over the $p$-adics
Abstract: Lie groups over the $p$-adics form an interesting class of non-discrete locally compact totally disconnected groups.
It is well known the local results in connected Lie theory apply equally well in the $p$-adic case. However,
many of the global theorems of connected Lie theory are not known to have $p$-adic counterparts.
We present a global decomposition theorem for $p$-adic Lie groups which is analogous to the familiar solvable by semi-simple
decomposition for connected Lie groups.
