A discrete valuation on a field $K$ is a surjective group homomorphismsatisfyingwhenever $x+y\ne 0$. Its discrete valuation ring is

One standard characterization defines a Dedekind domain as a Noetherian integrally closed domain of Krull dimension one. Equivalently, all its localizations at nonzero prime ideals are discrete valuation rings.

A prime Weil divisor is an integral closed subscheme of codimension one. If $Y$ has generic point ${\eta }_Y$, regularity in codimension one makes the local ring ${\mathcal{O}}_{X,{\eta }_Y}$ a discrete valuation ring with fraction field $K(X)$. Its normalized discrete valuationis the order of vanishing along $Y$: writing $f=u{\pi }^m$ for a unit $u$ and uniformizer $\pi$ gives ${\nu }_Y(f)=m$. Additivity of exponents makes this a group homomorphism.

Suppose $x\notin {\mathcal{O}}_K$, so $v(x)<0$. The ultrametric inequality gives $v(1+x)=v(x)$. If $1+x=y^n$, thenFor a discrete valuation, only finitely many positive integers $n$ divide the fixed nonzero integer $v(x)$. Therefore $x$ cannot belong to $S$, proving $S\subseteq {\mathcal{O}}_K$.
