Discrete Valuations #

Given a linearly ordered commutative group with zero Γ, a valuation v : A → Γ on a ring A is discrete, if there is an element γ : Γˣ that is < 1 and generated the range of v, implemented as MonoidWithZeroHom.valueGroup v. When Γ := ℤₘ₀ (defined in Multiplicative.termℤₘ₀), γ = ofAdd (-1)and the condition of being discrete is equivalent to asking thatofAdd (-1 : ℤ)belongs to the image, in turn equivalent to asking that `1 : ℤ` belongs to the image of the corresponding additive valuation.

Note that this definition of discrete implies that the valuation is nontrivial and of rank one, as is commonly assumed in number theory. To avoid potential confusion with other definitions of discrete, we use the name IsRankOneDiscrete to refer to discrete valuations in this setting.

Given a linearly ordered commutative group with zero Γ such that Γˣ is nontrivial cyclic, a valuation v : A → Γ on a ring A is discrete, if genLTOne Γˣ belongs to the image. Note that the latter is equivalent to asking that 1 : ℤ belongs to the image of the corresponding additive valuation.
