Abstract
Let be an uncountable field. We prove that the polynomial ring in variables over is complete in its adic topology. In addition we prove that also the localization at a maximal ideal is adically complete. The first result settles an old conjecture of C. U. Jensen, the second a conjecture of L. Gruson. Our proofs are based on a result of Gruson stating (in two variables) that is adically complete when and .
