The Algebraic Closure of the Power Series Field in Positive Characteristic
Abstract
Description
We answer a question of Abhyankar by constructing an algebraic closure of the field of power series over a field of positive characteristic, using "generalized power series". (The corresponding construction in characteristic 0 dates back to Newton.)
