Some combinatorial properties of the Hurwitz series ring

Abstract

We study some properties and perspectives of the Hurwitz series ring $H_R[[t]]$, for a commutative ring with identity $R$. Specifically, we provide a closed form for the invertible elements by means of the complete ordinary Bell polynomials, we highlight some connections with well--known transforms of sequences, and we see that the Stirling transforms are automorphisms of $H_R[[t]]$. Moreover, we focus the attention on some special subgroups studying their properties. Finally, we introduce a new transform of sequences that allows to see one of this subgroup as an ultrametric dynamic space.
