Principal fractional ideals of a nonarchimedean local field #

The fractional ideals of the ring of integers š’Ŗ[K] of a valued field K that are generated by one element are ordered by the valuation: x š’Ŗ[K] ≤ y š’Ŗ[K] exactly when v(x) ≤ v(y). For a nonarchimedean local field, whose ring of integers is a discrete valuation ring, the principal fractional ideal generated by x ≠ 0 is the power š“‚[K] ^ v_K(x) of the maximal ideal, for the normalized valuation v_K.

Main results #

Inclusion of principal fractional ideals of the ring of integers of a valued field is the reverse of divisibility, that is, the order of the valuation.
