Streszczenie
Let $K$ be a $p$-adic field and let $F$ and $G$ be two formal groups over the integers of $K$. We prove that if $F$ and $G$ have infinitely many torsion points in common, then $F=G$. This follows from a rigidity result: any bounded power series that sends infinitely many torsion points of $F$ to torsion points of $F$ is an endomorphism of $F$.
