Algebraic elements in formal power series rings (Q1121952): Difference between revisions

Let k be a perfect field of characteristic p. A set A of additive endomorphisms of k((x)) is defined such that an element f of k((x)) is algebraic over k(x) if and only if f is contained in an A-stable finite- dimensional k-vectorsubspace of k((x)). Other known characterizations of algebraicity are derived from this.
