AbstractLetRbe a domain contained in a rank-1 valuation ring of its quotient field. LetR⟦X⟧ be the ring of formal power series overR, and letFbe the quotient field ofR⟦X⟧. We prove thatFis Hilbertian. This resolves and generalizes an open problem of Jarden, and allows to generalize previous Galois-theoretic results over fields of power series.

Given a formal power seriesg(x)=b0+b1x+b2x2+⋯and a nonunitf(x)=a1x+a2x2+⋯, it is well known that the composition ofgwithf,g(f(x)), is a formal power series. If the formal power seriesfabove is not a nonunit, that is, the constant term offis not zero, the existence of the compositiong(f(x))has been an open problem for many years. The recent development investigated the radius of convergence of a composed formal power series likefabove and obtained some very good results. This note gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the composition of some formal power series. By means of the theorems established in this note, the existence of the composition of a nonunit formal power series is a special case.

AbstractIn [1], Anscombe and Koenigsmann give an existential ∅-definition of the ring of formal power series F[[t]] in its quotient field in the case where F is finite. We extend their method in several directions to give general definability results for henselian valued fields with finite or pseudo-algebraically closed residue fields.

AbstractIn the context of Riordan arrays, the problem of determining the square root of a Bell matrix $$R={\mathcal {R}}(f(t)/t,\ f(t))$$ R = R ( f ( t ) / t , f ( t ) ) defined by a formal power series $$f(t)=\sum _{k \ge 0}f_kt^k$$ f ( t ) = ∑ k ≥ 0 f k t k with $$f(0)=f_0=0$$ f ( 0 ) = f 0 = 0 is presented. It is proved that if $$f^\prime (0)=1$$ f ′ ( 0 ) = 1 and $$f^{\prime \prime }(0)\ne 0$$ f ″ ( 0 ) ≠ 0 then there exists another Bell matrix $$H={\mathcal {R}}(h(t)/t,\ h(t))$$ H = R ( h ( t ) / t , h ( t ) ) such that $$H*H=R;$$ H ∗ H = R ; in particular, function h(t) is univocally determined by a symbolic computational method which in many situations allows to find the function in closed form. Moreover, it is shown that function h(t) is related to the solution of Schröder’s equation. We also compute a Riordan involution related to this kind of matrices.

A locally finite category is defined as a category in which every arrow admits only finitely many different ways to be factorized by composable arrows. The large algebra of such categories over some fields may be defined, and with it a group of invertible series (under multiplication). For certain particular locally finite categories, a substitution operation, generalizing the usual substitution of formal power series, may be defined, and with it a group of reversible series (invertible under substitution). Moreover, both groups are actually affine groups. In this contribution, we introduce their coordinate Hopf algebras which are both free as commutative algebras. The semidirect product structure obtained from the action of reversible series on invertible series by anti-automorphisms gives rise to an interaction at the level of their coordinate Hopf algebras under the form of a smash coproduct.
