The valuation ring of formal Laurent series #
For a field K, the valuation integers in K⸨X⸩ are the embedded power series
LaurentSeries.powerSeries_as_subring K. This file identifies their local-ring structure with
the X-adic structure of K⟦X⟧: the maximal ideal is generated by X, consists of the
series of positive order, and is the kernel of the constant-coefficient map. Consequently, the
residue field is canonically isomorphic to K, with the residue of a power series sent to its
constant coefficient.
Main results #
TauCeti.LaurentSeries.maximalIdeal_eq_idealOfDefinition: the maximal ideal is the ideal(X)used as an ideal of definition for the Laurent-series topology.TauCeti.LaurentSeries.mem_maximalIdeal_iff_orderTop_pos: membership in the maximal ideal is equivalent to positive Laurent order.TauCeti.LaurentSeries.constantCoeff: the constant-coefficient homomorphism on the valuation ring, whose kernel is the maximal ideal.TauCeti.LaurentSeries.residueFieldEquiv: the residue field of the Laurent valuation ring is canonically isomorphic to the coefficient field.
The embedded power-series ring is local, by transport from the usual local-ring structure on
K⟦X⟧.
The maximal ideal of the Laurent valuation ring is the ideal (X) used as its ideal of
definition.
An element of the Laurent valuation ring is in its maximal ideal exactly when its valuation is strictly less than one.
An element of the Laurent valuation ring is in its maximal ideal exactly when it has positive
Laurent order. This includes zero, whose orderTop is infinity.
The constant-coefficient homomorphism on the Laurent valuation ring.
Instances For
The constant coefficient read through the power-series presentation equals the coefficient at Laurent exponent zero.
Every coefficient occurs as the constant coefficient of a Laurent valuation integer.
The kernel of the constant-coefficient map is the maximal ideal of the Laurent valuation ring.
An element of the Laurent valuation ring belongs to its maximal ideal exactly when its constant coefficient vanishes.
The residue field of the Laurent valuation ring is canonically the coefficient field.
Instances For
Under the residue-field equivalence, the residue of a valuation integer is its constant coefficient.
The inverse residue-field equivalence sends a coefficient to the residue of the corresponding constant power series.
