Units at the height-one primes of ℚ #

Let R be the ring of integers of ℚ in the sense of IsIntegralClosure R ℤ ℚ, and let v be a height-one prime of R, corresponding to the rational prime p = Rat.HeightOneSpectrum.primesEquiv v. This file compares the v-adic valuation with the p-adic valuation padicValRat p.

Main results #

A nonzero rational number is a unit at the height-one prime v exactly when its p-adic valuation vanishes, for p the rational prime corresponding to v.
