Measurable coefficient loci for roots in valuation balls #

For an extension L / K of nonarchimedean local fields, the coefficient vectors of monic polynomials with a root in a fixed closed ball of 𝒪[L] form a closed set. These sets are therefore measurable, including at inseparable polynomials. Their indicators are the summands in the finite ball decomposition of root counts used in Serre's mass-formula integral.

The monic coefficient vectors with a root in a fixed closed valuation ball of the ring of integers of an extension of local fields form a closed set.

The coefficient locus for a root in a fixed closed valuation ball is measurable for any measurable structure containing the open subsets of coefficient space.
