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 #

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
    @[simp]

    The object at every ramification index is the Laurent-series K-algebra.

    @[simp]

    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
      @[simp]

      The point of the level cocone is the Puiseux field.

      @[simp]

      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.
