Abstract

Let A be a complete discrete valuation ring of characteristic zero with finite residue field, and for any integer m > 1, let Jm (A) be the subring of A generated by the m-th powers of elements of A. We will prove that any element of Jm (A) is a sum of at most 8m5 m-th powers of elements of A. We will also prove a similar assertion when the residue field of A is only assumed to be perfect and of positive characteristic, with the number Γ(m) of summands depending only on m and not on A.
