Let ppp be a prime, iii an integer and γ∈Gal(Q‾/Q)\gamma \in \mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})γ∈Gal(Q​/Q). Let ViV_iVi​ be the ωi\omega^iωi-eigenspace of V=H∞⊗ZpQpV = H_\infty \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}_p}\mathbb{Q}_pV=H∞​⊗Zp​​Qp​, and let

hp(ωi,T)=det⁡(T−(γ−1)∣Vi)∈Qp[T].h_p(\omega^i, T) = \det\big(T - (\gamma-1) \mid V_i\big) \in \mathbb{Q}_p[T].hp​(ωi,T)=det(T−(γ−1)∣Vi​)∈Qp​[T].

Then all coefficients of hp(ωi,T)h_p(\omega^i, T)hp​(ωi,T) lie in Zp\mathbb{Z}_pZp​; that is, hp(ωi,T)h_p(\omega^i,T)hp​(ωi,T) is the image of a polynomial in Zp[T]\mathbb{Z}_p[T]Zp​[T].

This is needed for the source's statement to make sense: the main conjecture compares the ideal of Zp[[T]]\mathbb{Z}_p[[T]]Zp​[[T]] generated by hp(ωi,T)h_p(\omega^i, T)hp​(ωi,T) with the one generated by Gp(ω1−i,T)G_p(\omega^{1-i}, T)Gp​(ω1−i,T).

Formalization Note If ViV_iVi​ were infinite-dimensional, charPoly would be 000 by convention, and the statement holds trivially in that case.
