Puiseux series are algebraic over Laurent series #

This file proves that the field of Puiseux series over a field K is algebraic over the field of Laurent series: the monomial t ^ (1 / n) is integral over the image of K((t)) (it is a root of the monic polynomial Y ^ n - t), and the image of toHahn K n lies in the subalgebra generated by this monomial (sorting a series in t ^ (1 / n) by exponent residues mod n).

The monomial t ^ (1 / n) of HahnSeries ℚ K is integral over the range of LaurentSeries.toHahn K 1: it is a root of the monic polynomial Y ^ n - t.

Every element of the range of LaurentSeries.toHahn K n lies in the subalgebra of HahnSeries ℚ K generated by the monomial t ^ (1 / n) over the range of LaurentSeries.toHahn K 1 — sort a series in t ^ (1 / n) by exponent residues mod n.

Puiseux series are algebraic over Laurent series, for any field K.
