Finiteness of the height-zero one-point Riemann space #
For a finite separable extension L / K(X) over a finite field, the functions
regular at every exhaustive place form a finite-dimensional K-vector space.
The proof chooses a branch above infinity and reduces a function modulo that branch. Every height-zero function has a lift to the corresponding local ring. If two such functions have the same residue, their difference has positive order at the chosen branch and nonnegative order everywhere else. The degree-weighted product formula rules this out unless the difference is zero. Thus the height-zero space injects into a finite residue field.
