## On generalized formal power series.(English)Zbl 0635.16001

The author studies a generalization of Laurent series: D(T,L) denotes the set of mappings $$f: L\to T$$, where L is a linearly ordered loop (of “exponents”), where $$(T,+,\cdot)$$ is a structure such that $$(T,+)$$ is a commutative group with 0 as neutral element, where (T$$\setminus 0,\cdot)$$ is a quasi-group annihilated by 0, such that $$\sup p(f)=\{x\in L|$$ f(x)$$\neq 0\}$$ is a well-ordered subset of L. She shows that addition and multiplication (defined as usually when f is viewed as a formal power series $$f=\sum_{\ell \in L}f(\ell)^{\ell})$$ are well-defined in D(T,L). She shows that D(T,L) is also a quasi-group and indicates that many usual properties of T are shared by D(T,L): associativity, commutativity, distributivity, neutral element, ring, division ring.
