Power-series expansions at rational places #
At a rational place with chosen uniformizer t, the compatible finite expansions define a
k-algebra embedding of the valuation ring into k[[T]]. Its coefficients characterize
congruence modulo every order-filtration step, so the embedding preserves orders and sends
t to T. These statements do not require completeness.

Instances For
Every coefficient of the infinite expansion agrees with the corresponding coefficient of any sufficiently long finite expansion.
Removing the first n coefficients of the power-series expansion leaves a function
vanishing to order at least n.
Vanishing of the first n expansion coefficients is exactly membership in the n-th
order filtration, including the zero function.
The power-series embedding identifies the local order filtration with the usual power-series order filtration.
Uniformizer expansion is injective even before completion: an integral function is determined by all its coefficients.
Two integral functions agree to order n precisely when their first n expansion
coefficients agree.
The order of a nonzero integral function is the first nonzero degree of its power-series expansion.
