The valuation and topology of the Puiseux field #
The Puiseux field puiseuxField K ⊆ HahnSeries ℚ K inherits from the rational Hahn series the
additive valuation ord = orderTop with values in WithTop ℚ, and the multiplicative valuation
exp (-ord) with values in ℚᵐ⁰. This file restricts both to the Puiseux field and gives it the
resulting valuation topology, through a Valued instance.
On the level-n copy of K⸨X⸩, embedded by X ↦ t ^ (1 / n), the Puiseux order is the integer
order of the Laurent series divided by n. Consequently each level embedding is a topological
embedding, that is, a homeomorphism onto its image. Neighbourhoods of zero are described by
orders: {x | q ≤ ord x} for q ∈ ℚ form a basis, and a family converges to x exactly when
the order of its difference with x eventually exceeds every rational bound.
Unlike each level, the Puiseux field is not complete. The partial sums of
∑ j, t ^ ((j + 1) + 1 / (j + 2)) form a Cauchy sequence, since the orders of the terms tend to
infinity. A limit would have every monomial of this series in its support, by comparing
coefficients, but the denominators j + 2 of these exponents are unbounded, so no Puiseux series
has them all in its support.

The valuations #
The additive valuation ord = orderTop on the Puiseux field, with values in WithTop ℚ.
Instances For
The multiplicative valuation on the Puiseux field, sending a nonzero series of order q to
exp (-q).
Instances For
The Puiseux field carries the valuation topology of TauCeti.puiseuxField.valuation.
The additive valuation of a Puiseux series is its order as a rational Hahn series.
The multiplicative valuation of a Puiseux series is its valuation as a rational Hahn series.
The valuation of the Valued instance is TauCeti.puiseuxField.valuation.
The valuation of x is below exp (-q) exactly when the order of x exceeds q.
The valuation of x is at most exp (-q) exactly when the order of x is at least q.
On level n, the order of the Puiseux field is the integer order of K⸨X⸩ divided by n.
On level n, a nonzero Laurent series of order k has Puiseux valuation exp (-(k / n)).
On level n, the order bound k / n ≤ ord in the Puiseux field is the integer order bound
k ≤ ord in K⸨X⸩.
The valuation topology #
Convergence criterion: a family of Puiseux series converges to x exactly when the order
of its difference with x eventually exceeds every rational bound.
Every level embedding is continuous.
Every level embedding is a topological embedding: K⸨X⸩ is homeomorphic to its level-n
image in the Puiseux field.
Non-completeness #
Partial sums of monomials whose exponents tend to infinity form a Cauchy sequence.
If the exponents e j are distinct and their denominators are not all divisors of a single
positive integer, then partial sums of the monomials c j t ^ (e j), with c j ≠ 0, converge to
no Puiseux series: a limit would contain every exponent e j in its support.
The Puiseux field is not complete. The partial sums of ∑ j, t ^ ((j + 1) + 1 / (j + 2))
form a Cauchy sequence without a limit.
