The p-limit [[Monzos and Interval Space|monzos]] M form a free abelian group, or | The p-limit [[Monzos and Interval Space|monzos]] M form a free abelian group, or ℤ-module, of finite rank pi(p), which is the number of primes up to and including p. The [[http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/DualModule.html|dual ℤ-module]] M* is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_isomorphism|isomorphic]] to M, but not in a canonical way. Hence it, the group (Z-module) of **vals**, is also a free abelian group of rank pi(p). Just as monzos are often written as [[http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Ket.html|kets]], vals are typically written as [[http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Bra.html|bras]]. Vals are homomorphisms from a subgroup of finite rank of ℚ*, the abelian group of the positive rational numbers under multiplication, to the integers ℤ. The number theorist [[Yves Hellegouarch]] seems to have been the first to write about them, under the name "degrees". | ||
