In this paper, for R a commutative ring, with identity, of characteristic p, we look at the group G(R) of formal power series with coefficients in R, of the formand the group operation being substitution. The results obtained give the exponent of the quotient groups Gn(R) of this group, n∈ℕ.

In this paper we are concerned with the group of formal power series of the form,the coefficients being elements of a commutative ring R and the group operation being substitution. Little seems to be known of the properties of groups of this type, except in special cases, although groups of formal power series in several variables with complex coefficients have been investigated from a different point of view by Bochner and Martin (1, chap. I) and Gotô (2).

Let Ω be the group of the functions ƒ(z) of the complex variable z, analytic in some neighborhood of z = 0, with ƒ(0) = 0, ƒ′(0) = 1, where the group operation is the composition g[f(z)](g(z), f(z) ∈ Ω). For every function f(z) ∈ Ω there exists [4] a unique formal power series where the coefficients ƒq(s) are polynomials of the complex parameter s, with ƒ1(s) = 1, such that and, for any two complex numbers s and t, the formal law of composition is valid.

Letkbe any algebraically closed field, and denote byk((t)) the field of formal power series in one indeterminatetoverk. Letso thatKis the field of Puiseux expansions with coefficients ink(each element ofKis a formal power series intl/rfor some positive integerr). It is well-known thatKis algebraically closed if and only ifkis of characteristic zero [1, p. 61]. For examples relating to ramified extensions of fields with valuation [9, §6] it is useful to have a field analogous toKwhich is algebraically closed whenkhas non-zero characteristicp. In this paper, I prove that the setLof all formal power series of the form Σaitei(where (ei) is well-ordered,ei=mi|nprt,n∈ Ζ,mi∈ Ζ,ai∈k,ri∈ Ν) forms an algebraically closed field.

Early in the Seventies I sought the number of rooted λ-coloured triangulations of the sphere with 2p faces. In these triangulations double joins, but not loops, were permitted. The investigation soon took the form of a discussion of a certain formal power series l(y, z, λ) in two independent variables y and z.The basic theory of l is set out in [1]. There l is defined as the coefficient of x2 in a more complicated power series g(x, y, z, λ). But the definition is equivalent to the following formula.1Here T denotes a general rooted triangulation. n(T) is the valency of its root-vertex, and 2p(T) is the number of its faces. P(T, λ) is the chromatic polynomial of the graph of T.

Let a meromorphic differential equationbe given, where r is an integer, and the series converges for |z| sufficiently large. Then it is well known that (0.1) is formally satisfied by an expressionwhere F( z) is a formal power series in z–1 times an integer power of z, and F( z) has an inverse of the same kind, L is a constant matrix, andis a diagonal matrix of polynomials qj( z) in a root of z, 1≦ j≦ n. If, for example, all the polynomials in Q( z) are equal, then F( z) can be seen to be a convergent series (see Section 1), whereas if not, then generally the coefficients in F( z) grow so rapidly that F( z) diverges for every (finite) z.

Let X be a (based) space of the homotopy type of a CW-complex. Let H(X) denote the classical (ungraded) cohomology ring Πi≥0Hi (X;Z/2). In [1] Atiyah and Hirzebruch described the group of natural ring automorphisms of H(X) (‘cohomology automorphisms’) with group operation given by composition. They showed that is isomorphic to the group of formal power series of the form with group operation given by ‘substitution’ of one power series into another. In particular the most famous ‘cohomology automorphism’, the total Steenrod Square, corresponds to x + x2.

In this paper we consider the problem of determining when an algebra of formal power series over a commutative ring R is the homomorphic image of a reduced incidence algebra P(R, ∽). The question of when two such algebras are isomorphic is answered in Section 8 of [1]. A slight generalization of their notion of full binomial type is introduced here.Section 1 contains background material together writh a summary of the results of [1]. In Section 2 we present the desired characterization, and to conclude an application appears in Section 3. In Section 3 the tools of Section 2 are used to derive an equation of R. W. Robinson and R.

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with identity. R[[x]] denotes the ring of formal power series, in which we consider the composition ○, defined by f(x)○g(x)=f(g(x)). This operation is well defined in the subring R+[[x]] of formal power series of positive order. The algebra= 〈R+[[x]], ○〉 is learly a semigroup, which is not commutative for ∣R∣>1. In this paper we consider all those commutative subsemigroups of , which consist of power series of all positive orders, which are called ‘permutable chains’.

It is well known that a polynomial [Formula: see text] over a commutative ring [Formula: see text] with identity is a zero-divisor in [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text] has a non-zero annihilator in the base ring, where [Formula: see text] is the polynomial ring with indeterminate [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text]. But this result fails in non-commutative rings and in the case of formal power series ring. In this paper, we consider the problem of determining some annihilator properties of the formal power series ring [Formula: see text] over an associative non-commutative ring [Formula: see text]. We investigate relations between power series-wise McCoy property and other standard ring-theoretic properties. In this context, we consider right zip rings, right strongly [Formula: see text] rings and rings with right Property [Formula: see text]. We give a generalization (in the case of non-commutative ring) of a classical results related to the annihilator of formal power series rings over the commutative Noetherian rings. We also give a partial answer, in the case of formal power series ring, to the question posed in [1 Question, p. 16].
