Oct 7, 2010 at 10:17 comment added KConrad When I asked what the papers actually achieved, I meant besides the idea of embedding the ring of integers into its product of non-archimedean completions. I mean, the point of the papers couldn't have been "Look, we have this embedding", right?
Oct 7, 2010 at 9:42 comment added Chandan Singh Dalawat I briefly looked at Prüfer's paper yesterday and thought that he was embedding the ring of integers of a number field into its profinite completion, such as $\bf Z$ into $\hat{\bf Z}$.
Oct 7, 2010 at 8:47 comment added KConrad It's a pity Jahrbuch has no entry for von Neumann's paper. Can anyone who reads German comfortably indicate what either of these papers actually achieved with the construction?

Oct 7, 2010 at 4:53 comment added Chandan Singh Dalawat Before the Math Reviews, there was the Jahrbuch. For Hasse's review of Prüfer's paper, see emis.de/cgi-bin/jfmen/MATH/JFM/…
