Gelfand-Tornheim theorem #
In this file the Gelfand-Tornheim theorem
(AbsoluteValue.exists_ringHom_complex_of_not_isNonarchimedean) is proved, that is,
if a field K has an infinite place,
then there exists an embedding K →+* ℂ such that the absolute value is equivalent to
the usual absolute value | | on ℂ.
Gelfand-Tornheim theorem: if a field K has a normalized archimedean absolute value,
then there exists an embedding K →+* ℂ such that the absolute value is equal to
the usual absolute value | | on ℂ.
Gelfand-Tornheim theorem: if a field K has an infinite place,
then there exists an embedding K →+* ℂ such that the absolute value is equivalent to
the usual absolute value | | on ℂ. Note that it is not necessary equal to | | as it is
in fact equal to | | ^ c for some 0 < c ≤ 1.
Let K / F be a field extension, v and w are absolute values on K and F, respectively,
such that the restriction of v on F is equivalent to w, then there exists v'
equivalent to v, and which lies over w.
