   Format: MarkdownItexCreated page about Novikov fields, another kind of generalized power series field. I'm looking for a good notation for these along the lines of $k[[x]]$ for power series rings, $k((x))$ for Laurent series fields, $k((x^G))$ for Hahn series fields; the only notation in the literature seems to be $\Lambda(k)$, which doesn't suggest its meaning to me and clashes with exterior algebras. <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/Novikov+field/1">v1</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Novikov+field">current</a>

   Format: MarkdownItexHow about $k((x^{(G)}))$, using parentheses to indicate a finiteness condition, in analogy to $k^G$ and $k^{(G)}$? Or, simply $k_{\text{Nov}}((x^G))$ in analogy to $k_{\text{Puis}}((x^G))$ for the notation for (generalized) Puiseux series? (E.g. in Efrat's book.)

   Format: MarkdownItexFinitely supported functions. I think it's quite common; here's an [example reference](https://books.google.de/books?id=PUNwDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA649&lpg=PA649#v=onepage&q&f=false).

   Format: MarkdownItexThat link doesn't work for me, but I'll take your word for it. However, finitely supported functions is *not* what we mean here!

   Format: MarkdownItexYes, I understood that, but I figured that the context was sufficiently different that the notational device could be reused to denote another finiteness condition. Besides, there is already the notation $k^{(G)}$ for the finitely supported functions, so then $k((x^{(G)}))$ must mean something different, but related to $k((x^G))$. Anyway, this perhaps illustrates that $k_{\text{Nov}}((x^G))$ is the safer choice.
