Units of restricted power series #
Let R be a complete ultrametric normed ring with ‖1‖ = 1, and let c be positive polyradii.
A restricted series f ∈ R{X/c} close to a constant a that is a multiplicative unit of R
(TauCeti.IsNormMulUnit), in the sense that ‖f - a‖ < ‖a‖ for the Gauss norm, factors as
f = a * (1 - x), x = a⁻¹ * (a - f), ‖x‖ = ‖f - a‖ / ‖a‖ < 1,
so it is invertible with inverse given by the Neumann series ∑ₙ xⁿ a⁻¹, and it is again a
multiplicative unit, of norm ‖a‖. This is the Neumann series criterion
TauCeti.IsNormMulUnit.of_norm_sub_lt applied to the constant series a. No commutativity of
R and no multiplicativity of its norm is needed; in particular R may have nilpotents. Over
the dual numbers K[ε] the series 1 + εX is a unit although its coefficient ε may have norm
one, so the converse below does not extend to such rings.
When the norm of R is multiplicative and R is nontrivial, the converse holds: a restricted
series is a unit exactly when its constant coefficient is a unit and strictly dominates the
weighted norm ‖aₜ‖ cᵗ of every other coefficient. Restrictedness turns these pointwise strict
inequalities into a uniform one, which is what the Neumann series needs. Over a field, or any
division ring, the constant coefficient need only be nonzero. These criteria hold at arbitrary
positive polyradii.

Constant series preserve multiplicative units, since taking constant series is a norm-preserving ring homomorphism.
Neumann series criterion. Over a complete ultrametric ring, a restricted series
whose distance from a constant multiplicative unit a is less than ‖a‖ is a multiplicative
unit.
The Neumann series of the inverse. If ‖f - a‖ < ‖a‖ for a constant multiplicative unit
a, then x = a⁻¹ * (a - f) has norm less than one and f⁻¹ = ∑ₙ xⁿ * a⁻¹.
If ‖f - a‖ < ‖a‖ for a constant multiplicative unit a, then the inverse of f has norm
‖a‖⁻¹.
Dominant constant coefficient. Over a complete ultrametric norm-one ring, a restricted series whose constant coefficient is a multiplicative unit strictly dominating the weighted norm of every other coefficient is a multiplicative unit.
The constant coefficient of a unit dominates. For a multiplicative coefficient norm, the constant coefficient of a unit of the ring of restricted series strictly dominates the weighted norm of every other coefficient.
The units of the ring of restricted series. Over a complete ultrametric normed ring with multiplicative norm, a restricted series is a unit exactly when its constant coefficient is a unit and strictly dominates the weighted norm of every other coefficient.
The units of a Tate algebra over a division ring. Over a complete ultrametric normed division ring, for instance a field, a restricted series is a unit exactly when its constant coefficient is nonzero and strictly dominates the weighted norm of every other coefficient, that is, when the constant coefficient is the only one attaining the Gauss norm.
The constant coefficient a of a series dominates the coefficients of f - a strictly iff it
is nonzero and dominates all other coefficients of f strictly.
