We prove a version of the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt Theorem for profinite pronilpotent Lie algebras in which their symmetric and universal enveloping algebras are replaced with appropriate formal analogues and discuss some immediate corollaries of this result.
Keywords: Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt, pronilpotent Lie algebra, formal power series, infinite-dimensional Lie algebra, profinite vector space.
