Finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra embeds into unramified $p$-adic ring
Let $R$ be a finitely generated ring, that is, a $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra of finite type. Assume that $\operatorname{char}(R) = 0$. It follows from Noether's normalization lemma that $R$ can be embedded ...

Multivariable Weierstrass preparation theorem
The Weierstrass preparation theorem for formal power series says the following:
Let $f(T) \in \mathbf{Z}_p [[ T ]]$ be a formal power series. Then we can write $f(T) = p^{\mu} \cdot u(T) \cdot g(T)$, ...

What's the number of solutions of the quadratic equation $x_1^2+\dots+x_m^2=0$ over finite ring $\mathbb{Z}/p^n$?
I want to calculate the number of solutions to the quadratic equation $$x_1^2+\dots+x_m^2=0$$ where $m$ is odd (a given number) and $x_i\in\mathbb{Z}/p^n$ for a given prime number $p$ and a given ...

What would be the quotient groups $U_{\mathrm{gen}}/U_{\mathrm{gen}}^{(n)}$ and $U_{\mathrm{gen}}^{(n)}/U_{\mathrm{gen}}^{(n+1)}$?
Let $K \supseteq \mathbb{Q}_p$ be a $p$-adic field with ring of integer $O$ and maximal ideal $m$. Let $O^*$ be the group of units in $O$.
Consider the group of units $U^{(0)}=U=O^*$ and $U^{(n)}=1+m^...

convergence in $\hat{\mathbb{Z}}$, modulo prime power
The following problem appears in Lenstra's Galois Theory for Schemes (p 14, Ex 1.16).
Let $b\in\mathbb Z_{\ge0}$. Define the sequence $(a_n)_{n=0}^\infty$
by $a_0=b, a_{n+1}=2^{a_n}$. Prove that $...

Does a countably generated $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra inject into some $p$-adic field?
Let $K$ be a subfield of $\mathbb{C}$. If $K$ is finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$, then $K$ injects into $\mathbb{Q}_p$ for some $p$.
Assume that $K$ is countably generated, i.e., $K= \...

Name of some commutative ring akin to $p$-adics
I need help in identifying the naming convention of some commutative ring described below.
Let $p$ be a prime, let $k$ be a positive integer, and let $$\textbf{e} = (e_0,\ldots,e_{k-1})$$ be a list ...
