Oct 4, 2014 at 18:13 comment added YCor Yes, that's part of the remaining case $n=2$.
Oct 4, 2014 at 18:10 comment added Antoine Ducros No, ok. I made a mistake: I thought you meant that the case where dim A=1 is trivial. And I do not know whether k[[x,y]] can be embedded in k[[t]].
Oct 4, 2014 at 16:02 comment added YCor Case $n=1$: a negative answer would mean that there is an injective continuous $k$-algebra homomorphism from $k[[X]]$ into a 0-dimensional $A$, which would be of finite length over $k$. Do I miss something?
Oct 4, 2014 at 10:21 comment added Antoine Ducros Is the case n=1 that trivial, YCor ?
Oct 4, 2014 at 8:32 comment added YCor The example given there is essentially that if $f\in vk[[v]]$ is transcendental over $k(v)$, then $x\mapsto u$, $y\mapsto uv$, $z\mapsto uf(v)$ defines a continuous injective $k$-algebra embedding of $k[[x,y,z]]$ into $k[[u,v]]$. Note that this answers negatively the question for all $n\ge 3$. This leaves the case $n=2$ open (the case $n\le 1$ being trivial).
