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.

    The constant-field algebra map has underlying rational function RatFunc.C c.

    Every rational function integral at infinity is congruent to a constant modulo the maximal ideal at infinity.

    Over an algebraically closed constant field, every prime above the place at infinity has residue degree (inertia degree) one.
