participle?

Productum is a mathematical operator, denoted by p.

I am not sure that this sentence is correct.

"denoted by p" What is the lexical cathegory of this phrase? Adjective -- is the phrase therefore adjectival?
'denoted' is the head and is a participle verbal. Am I right?
Should I drop the comma? I should think so.
How would you write this sentence?
