SUMMARY

The official name for a "field series" in mathematics and physics is not universally defined, as it often depends on the context in which it is used. In algebra, a field can refer to a specific type of ring, and a series may represent a sequence of fields that are nested within one another, known as a tower of fields. The term "field series" may require user-defined parameters to clarify its meaning in specific applications. Understanding these definitions is crucial for accurate communication in mathematical discussions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of field theory in abstract algebra
  • Familiarity with ring theory concepts
  • Knowledge of sequences and series in mathematics
  • Basic principles of mathematical definitions and terminology
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "field theory in abstract algebra" for foundational concepts
  • Explore "tower of fields" to understand nested field structures
  • Study "ring theory" to grasp the relationship between fields and rings
  • Investigate "infinitesimal recursion" and its applications in mathematics
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physics researchers, and students studying abstract algebra and field theory will benefit from this discussion, particularly those interested in the definitions and applications of field series.

TL;DR
What is the official name for a field series in mathematics/physics?
I've been working on developing infinitesimal recursion (what I call continuous hierarchy), but I ended up arriving at "field series" instead. My searches didn't seem to come up with anything reasonable (battlefield the video game series), so I'm wondering what the official name for a field series is. Thanks!

What do you mean by field and what by series? Fields are certain rings, and related ones are sometimes a tower of fields or a sequence of fields in case they are contained in one another.
 
Needs to be user defined.
