Puiseux series as a colimit of ramified Laurent fields #
Ramified Laurent levels are indexed by TauCeti.RamificationIndex, the positive natural numbers
ordered by divisibility. The transition from level n to level m, for n ∣ m, substitutes
X ^ (m / n) for X. These transitions form a filtered diagram of commutative algebras over the
coefficient field.
The level embeddings into the Puiseux series field form a cocone on this diagram. This file proves its universal property: a compatible family of algebra maps out of all ramified levels factors uniquely through the Puiseux field. Thus the bounded-denominator carrier of Puiseux series is not merely the union of the levels; it is their colimit in commutative algebras.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.puiseuxField.levelDiagram: the diagram whose transition maps are ramified substitutions.TauCeti.puiseuxField.levelCocone: the level embeddings into the Puiseux field.TauCeti.puiseuxField.levelCoconeIsColimit: the universal property of that cocone.
The filtered diagram of ramified Laurent fields. Its object at n is a copy of K⸨X⸩,
and its map along n ≤ m substitutes X ^ (m / n) for X.
Instances For
The object at every ramification index is the Laurent-series K-algebra.
The transition map along n ≤ m is the substitution X ↦ X ^ (m / n).
The level embeddings into the Puiseux field, as a cocone on the ramified-level diagram.
Instances For
The point of the level cocone is the Puiseux field.
The component of the level cocone at n is the level-n embedding.
The Puiseux field is the colimit of the ramified Laurent levels in CommAlgCat K.
Equivalently, every compatible family of K-algebra maps from the levels factors uniquely
through the bounded-denominator Puiseux series field.
