Natural numbers in the residue field of an adic valuation ring #

Let R be a Dedekind domain with fraction field K, and let v be a height one prime of R. The valuation ring of K at v is a local ring whose residue field has the same characteristic as R ⧸ v: a natural number vanishes in it exactly when its image in R lies in v.

Main results #

A natural number is zero in the residue field of the valuation ring of K at v exactly when its image in R lies in v.
