TL;DR Summary
Trying to understand the completeness of K[[x]] and how to show that every cauchy sequence in it has a limit in K[[x]].
I had difficulty showing this no matter what I tried in (a) I am not getting it. Here for p(t) in K[[t]] : ## |p|=e^{-v(p)} ## where v(p) is the minimal index with a non-zero coiefficient.
I said that p_i is a cauchy sequence so, for every epsilon>0 there exists a natural N such that for all i,j>N we have
## |p_i(t)-p_j(t)|<epsilon ##, which is equivalent to that
## v(p_i(t)-p_j(t))>e^{-epsilon} ##.
But could not see how it helps here!.

Any clarifications would be great

In order for ##||p_i-p_j||## to be smaller than ##\varepsilon=e^{-n}## (for large ##i,j##) it must be the case that the first nonzero term of ##p_i-p_j## has degree larger than ##n##, i.e. the coefficients of ##1,t,...,t^n## are the same for ##p_i## and ##p_j.## So, for any fixed degree ##k##, the coefficient of ##t^k## in your sequence is eventually constant and the limit of your Cauchy sequence is just the power series whose coefficient of ##t^k## is this element of ##K##.
 
Thanks!
Here is what I did in a.
can you give direction for b? I think it would be similar to a but could not see how..

I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
