Hahn series 2026-10-14
A Hahn series over a field with exponents in an ordered abelian group is a formal sum whose nonzero exponents form a well-ordered set. Such series form the Hahn series field.
This can be false. In a valued field with value group , such as the Hahn series field , the maximal ideal
of the valuation ring is not principal: if , an element of valuation belongs to but not to . Thus the valuation ring need not be a principal ideal domain.
