A problem on coefficient fields and equations over local rings
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20E18, 12G05, 12F10, 12F99.Given a profinite group Γ acting continuously on a discrete quasi-cyclic group A, certain classes of closed subgroups of Γ (radical, hereditarily radical, Kneser, almost Kneser, and hereditarily Kneser) having natural field theoretic interpretations are defined and investigated. One proves that the hereditarily Kneser subgroups of Γ form a closed subspace of the irreducible spectral space of all closed subgroups of Γ, and a hereditarily...
The algebraically closed field of Nash functions is introduced. It is shown that this field is an algebraic closure of the field of rational functions in several variables. We give conditions for the irreducibility of polynomials with Nash coefficients, a description of factors of a polynomial over the field of Nash functions and a theorem on continuity of factors.
