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 #

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.

    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
      @[simp]

      Under the residue-field equivalence, the residue of a valuation integer is its constant coefficient.

      @[simp]

      The inverse residue-field equivalence sends a coefficient to the residue of the corresponding constant power series.
