Transcendence degree in power series rings

Let D[[X]] be the ring of formal power series over the commutative integral domain D. Gilmer has shown that if K is the quotient field of D, then D[[X]] and K[[X]] have the same quotient field if and only if K[[X]] ~ D[[X]]D_(O). Further, if a is any nonzero element of D, Sheldon has shown that eith...
