Irreducibility in generalized power series

Commutative Algebra 2024-05-24 v1

Abstract

A classical tool in the study of real closed fields are the fields K((G))K((G)) of generalized power series (i.e., formal sums with well-ordered support) with coefficients in a field KK of characteristic 0 and exponents in an ordered abelian group GG. In this paper we enlarge the family of ordinals α\alpha of non-additively principal Cantor degree for which K((R0))K((\mathbb{R}^{\le 0})) admits irreducibles of order type α\alpha far beyond α=ω2\alpha=\omega^2 and α=ω3\alpha = \omega^3 known prior to this work.
