Laurent series over a finite field form a local field #
For a field K, the formal Laurent series K⸨X⸩ carry Mathlib's X-adic valuation
LaurentSeries.valued. This file equips K⸨X⸩ with the valuative relation that valuation
induces, checks that the X-adic topology is the valuative topology and that the relation is
nontrivial, and identifies the ring of integers of the relation with the power series and its
residue field with K. When K is finite, K⸨X⸩ is a nonarchimedean local field: it is the
equal-characteristic local field 𝔽_q((X)), with residue field 𝔽_q.

Implementation notes #
Local compactness is transported from the X-adic completion of K⟮X⟯, which is a
nonarchimedean local field by
IsDedekindDomain.HeightOneSpectrum.isNonarchimedeanLocalField_adicCompletion, along Mathlib's
uniform equivalence LaurentSeries.comparePkg between that completion and K⸨X⸩.
