Extract

In the present paper we consider a one-dimensional local ring Q with maximal ideal tn and residue field K = Q/m. It will be assumed that not every element of mis a zero-divisor but no other restricting hypothesis will be made. In particular Q and K may have unequal characteristics and K may be finite.
