Powers of the maximal ideal of a discrete valuation ring #

The maximal ideal of a discrete valuation ring is generated by a uniformizer, so membership in its n-th power is the inequality n ≤ v x for the additive valuation IsDiscreteValuationRing.addVal, and the principal ideal generated by a nonzero x is 𝔪 ^ (v x). Mathlib inlines these rewrites where it needs them; this file states them once.

Membership in a power of the maximal ideal of a discrete valuation ring, read on the additive valuation.

The additive valuation of a nonzero element of a discrete valuation ring is the multiplicity of the maximal ideal in the principal ideal it generates.
