Volumes of balls of πͺ[L] in uniformizer coordinates #
Let L/K be an extension of nonarchimedean local fields with ramification index n = e(L/K), let
Ο be a uniformizer of L, and write q = Nat.card π[K]. A coefficient vector
c : Fin n β πͺ[K] represents the element β i, c i * Ο ^ i of πͺ[L]. Equip the coefficient
space Fin n β K with a left-invariant measure normalized on the integer box. This file computes
the volume of the coefficient vectors representing the elements of a valuation ball of πͺ[L]:
the ball of radius r has volume q ^ (-r).
The ball is a box: by orthogonality of the terms c i * Ο ^ i, whose valuations are distinct
modulo n, the coefficient vectors with r β€ v_L(β i, c i * Ο ^ i) are those with
c i β π[K] ^ ((r - i) β/β n) (TauCeti.le_addVal_sum_algebraMap_mul_pow_iff_of_irreducible).
That box has volume q ^ (-β i, (r - i) β/β n)
(MeasureTheory.Measure.measure_univ_pi_image_maximalIdeal_pow), and the exponent is r by
Hermite's identity (Nat.sum_range_sub_ceilDiv).
When L/K is totally ramified, the powers 1, Ο, β¦, Ο ^ (n - 1) form a basis of πͺ[L] over
πͺ[K], so every ball y + π[L] ^ r of πͺ[L] is a translate of the ball around 0 in these
coordinates and has the same volume. Two consequences are recorded: the sphere
v_L(x - y) = r has volume q ^ (-r) (1 - qβ»ΒΉ), and so, at y = 0 and r = 1, the
uniformizers of L have volume qβ»ΒΉ (1 - qβ»ΒΉ); and, for monic polynomials g of degree n over
πͺ[K] identified with their lower coefficients through TauCeti.Polynomial.monicOfCoeff, the
condition r β€ v_L(g(Ο)) cuts out a set of volume q ^ (-r), since g(Ο) - Ο ^ n is the
element with coordinates the lower coefficients of g.
These volumes are the measure computations in Serre's proof of his mass formula: in the local fibre
count, the monic polynomials with a root close to a given uniformizer form a set of the second
kind, and the uniformizers of L are partitioned into balls of the first kind.

Balls in uniformizer coordinates are boxes. For a uniformizer Ο of L and
n β€ e(L/K), the coefficient vectors c : Fin n β πͺ[K] with r β€ v_L(β i, c i * Ο ^ i) form,
in Fin n β K, the box whose i-th factor is π[K] ^ ((r - i) β/β e(L/K)).
In a totally ramified extension, the ball of radius r around y β πͺ[L], in uniformizer
coordinates, is a measurable subset of Fin n β K, where n = e(L/K).
