Abstract
Dress and Siebeneicher gave a significant generalization of the construction of Witt vectors, by producing for any profinite group , a ring-valued functor . This paper gives the first concrete interpretation of any Witt–Burnside rings outside the procyclic cases in terms of known rings. In particular, the rings , where is a field of characteristic have a quotient realized as rings of Lipschitz continuous functions on the -adic upper half plane . As a consequence we show that the Krull dimensions of the rings are infinite for and we show the Teichmüller representatives form an analogue of the van der Put basis for continuous functions on .
