Ostrowski’s Theorem

Ostrowski's Theorem for the field ℚ: every absolute value on ℚ is equivalent to either a p-adic absolute value or to the standard Archimedean (Euclidean) absolute value.

Main results

• mulRingNorm_equiv_standard_or_padic: given an absolute value on ℚ, it is equivalent to the standard Archimedean (Euclidean) absolute value or to a p-adic absolute value for some prime number p.

TODO

Extend to arbitrary number fields.
