Continuous homomorphisms between algebras of iterated Laurent series over a ring

Abstract

We study continuous homomorphisms between algebras of iterated Laurent series over a commutative ring. We give a full description of such homomorphisms in terms of discrete data determined by the images of parameters. In similar terms, we give a criterion of invertibility of an endomorphism and provide an explicit formula for the inverse endomorphism. We also study the behavior of the higher dimensional residue under continuous homomorphisms.
