Abstract

Let k be a perfect field of positive characteristic, k(t)per the perfect closure of k(t) and A=k[[X1,...,Xn]]. We show that for any maximal ideal N of A'=k(t)perk A, the elements in A'N which are annihilated by the "Taylor" Hasse-Schmidt derivations with respect to the Xi form a coefficient field of A'N.
