The normalized valuation of a natural number in a local field #

Let K be a nonarchimedean local field. The image of a natural number n under the canonical map β„• β†’ K lies in the ring of integers π’ͺ[K], so its normalized valuation is a natural number as soon as it is defined, that is as soon as (n : K) β‰  0. This file introduces that natural number,

natCastValuation K n hn : β„•,

and its basic API.

It is the quantity that measures how far n is from being invertible in π’ͺ[K]: it vanishes exactly when (n : π’ͺ[K]) is a unit, equivalently when the residue characteristic of K does not divide n. In particular it vanishes identically when K has positive characteristic, so it carries information only in mixed characteristic; there its value at the residue characteristic is the absolute ramification index of K.

theorem TauCeti.natCast_ne_zero_of_isUnit {K : Type u_1} [Field K] [ValuativeRel K] {n : β„•} (hn : IsUnit ↑n) :
↑n β‰  0

A natural number that is a unit in the integer ring is nonzero in the field.

A natural number prime to the residue characteristic is nonzero in the field.

theorem TauCeti.two_ne_zero_of_isUnit_two {K : Type u_1} [Field K] [ValuativeRel K] (h2 : IsUnit 2) :
2 β‰  0

If 2 is a unit in the integer ring, it is nonzero in the field.

The normalized valuation v_K((n : K)) of the image of a natural number n in a nonarchimedean local field K, as a natural number. The proof hn that the image is nonzero is part of the input: in positive characteristic the image can vanish, and no junk value is assigned there.

    The characteristic equation of natCastValuation: it decodes the normalized valuation of (n : K). The right-hand side expresses the valuation as the image of a natural number, so the equation also records that the image of n lies in π’ͺ[K].

    The additive normalized valuation of a nonzero natural-number cast is its natCastValuation.

    The zero-preserving form of the characteristic equation of natCastValuation.

    The vanishing criterion: the normalized valuation of n is zero exactly when n is invertible in the ring of integers.

    If n is invertible in the ring of integers then its normalized valuation vanishes.

    The vanishing criterion read off the residue field: the normalized valuation of n is zero exactly when the residue characteristic of K does not divide n.

    For a prime p, the normalized valuation of p is nonzero exactly when p is the residue characteristic of K, that is, exactly when K is p-adic.

    In equal characteristic the normalized valuation of a nonzero natural-number cast always vanishes: a natural number whose image in K is nonzero is prime to the characteristic, hence invertible in π’ͺ[K]. The invariant therefore carries information only in mixed characteristic, which is why the absolute ramification index is defined only there.

    The additive valuation of a nonzero natural-number cast in the integer ring agrees with natCastValuation of its image in the field.
