A sum involving roots of unity
Let $n$ be a positive integer and $\zeta$ be a primitive $n$th root of unity. It is not hard to show that
\begin{align*}
\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\frac{\zeta^k}{1-\zeta^k}=\frac{1-n}{2}.
\end{align*}
Since $\...

Coherence of subrings of K[[X,Y]]
Let $K[[X,Y]]$ be a two-variables formal power series ring over a field $K$. Consider a sub-ring $\iota \colon A \subset K[[X,Y]]$.
Q. Is A coherent? $\quad$ Or is it automatic that $\iota$ is ...

Automorphisms of complete discrete valuation ring
Let ${\Bbb F}_2[[T]]$ be a c.d.v.r over ${\Bbb F}_2$. We consider the automorphism $\sigma$ of ${\Bbb F}_2[[T]]$ such that $\sigma \colon T \mapsto T + c_2T^2 + c_3T^3 + \cdots$ with $c_i \in {\Bbb F}...
