- Strassmann's theorem
In
mathematics , Strassman's theorem is a result in field theory. It states that, for suitable fields, suitable formalpower series with coefficients in thevaluation ring of the field have only finitely many zeroes.tatement of the theorem
Let "K" be a field with a non-Archimedean absolute value | · | and let "R" be the valuation ring of "K". Let "f"("x") be a formal power series with coefficients in "R" other than the zero series, with coefficients "a""n" converging to zero with respect to | · |. Then "f"("x") has only finitely many zeroes in "R".
