In mathematics, Hahn series (sometimes also known as Hahn-Mal'cev-Neumann series) are a type of formal infinite series. They are a generalization of Puiseux series (themselves a generalization of formal power series) and were first introduced by Hans Hahn in 1907〔Hahn (1907)〕 (and then further generalized by Anatoly Maltsev and Bernhard Neumann to a non-commutative setting). They allow for arbitrary exponents of the indeterminate so long as the set supporting them forms a well-ordered subset of the value group (typically or ). Hahn series were first introduced, as groups, in the course of the proof of the Hahn embedding theorem and then studied by him as fields in his approach to Hilbert's seventeenth problem. ==Formulation== The field of Hahn series (in the indeterminate ''T'') over a field ''K'' and with value group ''Γ'' (an ordered group) is the set of formal expressions of the form with such that the support of ''f'' is well-ordered. The sum and product of and are given by and (in the latter, the sum over values such that and is finite because a well-ordered set cannot contain an infinite decreasing sequence). For example, is a Hahn series (over any field) because the set of rationals is well-ordered; it is not a Puiseux series because the denominators in the exponents are unbounded. (And if the base field ''K'' has characteristic ''p'', then this Hahn series satisfies the equation so it is algebraic over .) The valuation of is defined as the smallest ''e'' such that (in other words, the smallest element of the support of ''f''): this makes into a spherically complete valued field with value group ''Γ'' (justifying ''a posteriori'' the terminology); in particular, ''v'' defines a topology on . If , then ''v'' corresponds to an ultrametric) absolute value , with respect to which is a complete metric space. However, unlike in the case of formal Laurent series or Puiseux series, the formal sums used in defining the elements of the field do ''not'' converge: in the case of for example, the absolute values of the terms tend to 1 (because their valuations tend to 0), so the series is not convergent (such series are sometimes known as "pseudo-convergent"〔Kaplansky (1942, ''Duke Math. J.'', definition on p.303)〕). If ''K'' is algebraically closed (but not necessarily of characteristic zero) and ''Γ'' is divisible, then is algebraically closed.〔MacLane (1939, ''Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.'', theorem 1 (p.889))〕 Thus, the algebraic closure of is contained in has cardinality (strictly) less than ''κ'': it turns out that this is also a field, with much the same algebraic closedness properties as the full : e.g., it is algebraically closed or real closed when ''K'' is so and ''Γ'' is divisible.〔Alling (1987, §6.23, (3) and (4) (p.218–219))〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hahn series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
