Consider the power series ring $\mathbf{Z}_p[[T]]$, where $\mathbf{Z}_p$ denotes the $p$-adic integers. I'll call a function $f(T) \in \mathbf{Z}_p[[T]]$ a rational function if I can write it as: $$f(...

Fix a field of zero characteristic, $k$, e.g. $\Bbb{R}$ or $\Bbb{C}$. Suppose $k$ is normed (and complete for its norm). Consider the ring extensions: $k[x_1,..,x_n]\subset \ k<x_1,..,x_n> \ \...

More generally, let $(R,m)$ be a Noetherian local domain with fraction field $K$. The $m$-adic topology turns $R$ into a topological ring. When $R$ is a discrete valuation ring, this topology extends ...

Let us define the automorphism $\sigma$ on ${\Bbb F}_2[[X,S]]$ such that $\sigma \colon S \mapsto S + S^2 + S^3$ $\sigma \colon X \mapsto X + S$. It is easy to see that the ideal $(S)$ is stable ...
