Is k[[x]] ever a finitely generated k[x](x) module?
For k a field, the localization naturally includes into k[[x]]. I can prove that if , then this inclusion is not surjective, and k[[x]] is not even finitely generated over , because corresponds to rational functions holomorphic at 0, and corresponds to germs of all functions holomorphic at 0, and so with some complex analysis you can see the finite generation is impossible. But over an arbitrary field, is this claim still true?
