Word 'Spec' added.
May 9, 2018 at 14:13 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn The ring $k((x))$ is the fibre product: to tensor something over $k[x]$ with $k[x^{\pm 1}]$ just means inverting $x$.
May 9, 2018 at 8:36 comment added Jianrong Li thank you very much. How to think Spec $k((x))$ as $k[x^{\pm 1}] \otimes_{k[x]} k[[x]]$?
May 7, 2018 at 16:11 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn @JianrongLi: well, set-theoretically it has just one point, but writing $\{0\}$ is a bit suggestive (one might think that the point is a $k$-point, which is very false).
May 7, 2018 at 14:14 comment added Jianrong Li thank you very much. I have question about $Spec k((x))$. I think that $k((x))$ is a field. Therefore $Spec k((x))$ is just $\{0\}$?
