The valuation of a discrete valuation ring on its own elements #

Let R be a discrete valuation ring with fraction field K, and let v be the valuation on K attached to the maximal ideal of R (IsDiscreteValuationRing.maximalIdeal). Mathlib's IsDedekindDomain.HeightOneSpectrum.valuation_lt_one_iff_mem reads v r < 1, for r : R, as membership in the ideal underlying that height-one prime. This file restates it with the local ring's maximal ideal, and with divisibility by a uniformiser. On R itself, the 𝔪-adic valuation intValuation compares elements by divisibility and vanishes only at 0.

It also compares the valuation of a discrete valuation ring S with that of a valued field K whose valuation ring maps to S through a local homomorphism: the valuation of S, restricted along K → Frac(S), is equivalent to the valuation of K.

Main results #

An element of a discrete valuation ring has valuation less than one in the fraction field exactly when it lies in the maximal ideal.

@[simp]

The 𝔪-adic valuation of a discrete valuation ring compares elements by divisibility: v x ≤ v y exactly when y ∣ x.

@[simp]

The adic valuation of a height-one prime of a Dedekind domain vanishes only at 0.

An element of a discrete valuation ring has valuation less than one in the fraction field exactly when the uniformiser divides it.

An element of a discrete valuation ring has valuation one in the fraction field exactly when the uniformiser does not divide it.

The valuation of a discrete valuation ring S with fraction field M, dominating the valuation ring of K, restricts to the valuation class of K: an element of K is integral at S exactly when it lies in the valuation ring of K.
