Residue degree one above the rational-function place at infinity #
For the infinity valuation ring of K(X), every integral rational function is
congruent modulo the maximal ideal to a constant. Consequently its residue
field is canonically a copy of K. When K is algebraically closed, the
residue field at every prime above infinity in a finite separable extension of
K(X) is therefore the same field, so the corresponding inertia degree is
one.
Embed the constant field into the infinity valuation ring.
