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 .

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 .

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 . Note that it is not necessary equal to | | as it is in fact equal to | | ^ c for some 0 < c ≤ 1.

∃ (v' : AbsoluteValue K ), v' v v'.LiesOver w

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.
