Contou-Carrère symbol
In mathematics, the Contou-Carrère symbol 〈a,b〉 is a Steinberg symbol defined on pairs of invertible elements of the ring of Laurent power series over an Artinian ring k, taking values in the group of units of k. It was introduced by Contou-Carrère (1994).
Definition
If k is an Artinian local ring, then any invertible formal Laurent series a with coefficients in k can be written uniquely as
where w(a) is an integer, the elements ai are in k, and are in m if i is negative, and is a unit if i = 0.
The Contou-Carrère symbol 〈a,b〉 of a and b is defined to be
gollark: it is DOWN
gollark: It has either a third or an infinity-th of the backdoors, too, depending on how you count!
gollark: Those can come later.
