Definition

Let n≥0n \ge 0 and let ℂ[ ⁣[z1,…,zn] ⁣]\C[\![z_1, \dots, z_n]\!] be the ring of formal power series in nn variables over ℂ\C. For a multi-index α=(α1,…,αn)∈ℕn\alpha = (\alpha_1, \dots, \alpha_n) \in \N^n write zα=z1α1⋯znαnz^\alpha = z_1^{\alpha_1} \cdots z_n^{\alpha_n} and ∣α∣=α1+⋯+αn\abs{\alpha} = \alpha_1 + \cdots + \alpha_n. A power series f=∑αcαzαf = \sum_{\alpha} c_\alpha z^\alpha is convergent if there is a real number r>0r > 0 with ∑α∈ℕn∣cα∣ r∣α∣<∞.\sum_{\alpha \in \N^n} \abs{c_\alpha}\, r^{\abs{\alpha}} < \infty. The ring of convergent power series ℂ{z1,…,zn}\C\{z_1, \dots, z_n\} is the set of convergent power series, with the addition and multiplication of formal power series.

Remarks

The condition says that the series converges absolutely on the closed polydisc of radius rr about 00; it is equivalent to convergence on some neighbourhood of 00. Sums and products of convergent series are convergent, so ℂ{z1,…,zn}\C\{z_1, \dots, z_n\} is a subring of ℂ[ ⁣[z1,…,zn] ⁣]\C[\![z_1, \dots, z_n]\!]. Example: f=∑k≥0z1kz2kf = \sum_{k \ge 0} z_1^k z_2^k is convergent: with r=1/2r = 1/2, ∑kr2k=4/3<∞\sum_k r^{2k} = 4/3 < \infty. Non-example: g=∑k≥0k! z1kg = \sum_{k \ge 0} k!\, z_1^k is not convergent, since k! rk→∞k!\, r^k \to \infty for every r>0r > 0. For n=0n = 0 the ring is ℂ\C. A convergent series is a unit if and only if its constant term is nonzero, so the ring is local with maximal ideal (z1,…,zn)(z_1, \dots, z_n). Sending a series to its sum near 00 gives an isomorphism with the ring 𝒪n,0\mathcal{O}_{n,0} of germs of holomorphic functions at 00.
