The completed valuation ring at a place is a power-series ring over the residue field #
Let P be a place of F / k, let s : F_P → 𝒪̂_P be a coefficient field of the completed
valuation ring, that is, a ring embedding of the residue field F_P lifting it, and let t be a
uniformizer of the completion F̂_P. Then 𝒪̂_P is the power-series ring F_P[[T]]: every
completed integral function has a unique expansion ∑ s(aᵢ) tⁱ with coefficients aᵢ ∈ F_P.
Coefficient fields exist at every place (TauCeti.Place.exists_completionResidueFieldSection), so
𝒪̂_P ≃ F_P[[T]] as rings at every place. When F_P is separable over k there is a unique
coefficient field over k (TauCeti.Place.completionResidueFieldSection), and the expansion is a
k-algebra isomorphism. When F_P is inseparable over k there may be no coefficient field over
k, and then 𝒪̂_P is not k-isomorphic to F_P[[T]] at all
(TauCeti.Place.isEmpty_completionIntegers_algEquiv_powerSeries); the ring isomorphism still
exists, but it depends on the choice of the coefficient field.
This is the identification of a completed valuation ring with k[[T]] at a rational place
(TauCeti.Place.completionIntegersEquivPowerSeries) carried over to places of arbitrary degree.
The coefficients lie in F_P rather than k, which is what makes the t⁻¹-coefficient of a
Laurent expansion, the residue at P, an element of F_P.
The proof views F̂_P as an F_P-algebra through the coefficient field. The completed place is
then trivial on F_P, and its residue field is F_P itself, so it is a rational place over
F_P. The uniformizer expansions at rational places (TauCeti.Place.powerSeriesExpansion) and
the completeness of F̂_P (TauCeti.Place.powerSeriesExpansion_surjective) apply to it verbatim.

The completion as a rational place over a coefficient field #
Power-series expansions over a coefficient field #
The completed valuation ring at a place is F_P[[T]]. Given a coefficient field s of
𝒪̂_P, a ring embedding of the residue field F_P lifting it, and a uniformizer t, the
isomorphism sends a completed integral function to its expansion ∑ aᵢ Tⁱ in t, with
coefficients aᵢ ∈ F_P read through s; it is characterized by
TauCeti.Place.completionIntegersEquivPowerSeriesOfSection_eq_iff.
Instances For
The expansion is characterized by its truncations: the expansion of x is the power
series ∑ aᵢ Tⁱ exactly when x - ∑_{i < n} s(aᵢ) tⁱ vanishes to order n for every n.
Removing the first n terms of the expansion of a completed integral function leaves a
function vanishing to order at least n.
The inverse isomorphism realizes a power series over the residue field to every finite order.
The coefficient field expands to the constant power series.
The uniformizer expands as the power-series variable.
The constant coefficient of the expansion is the value at P, read in F_P.
Vanishing to order n is vanishing of the first n coefficients of the expansion.
The order of a nonzero completed integral function is the first nonzero degree of its expansion.
At every place the completed valuation ring is F_P[[T]], separable residue field or
not: a coefficient field exists by Cohen's theorem
(TauCeti.Place.exists_completionResidueFieldSection) and a uniformizer exists because the
valuation is normalized. When F_P is inseparable over k there may be no k-linear such
isomorphism (TauCeti.Place.isEmpty_completionIntegers_algEquiv_powerSeries).
The k-linear expansion at a place with separable residue field #
The completed valuation ring at a place with separable residue field is F_P[[T]] over
k. The isomorphism sends a completed integral function to its expansion ∑ aᵢ Tⁱ in the
uniformizer t, with coefficients aᵢ ∈ F_P read in the coefficient field
TauCeti.Place.completionResidueFieldSection over k; it is
TauCeti.Place.completionIntegersEquivPowerSeriesOfSection for that coefficient field.
