Abstract
Consider the polynomial ring R:=k[X1,…,Xn] in n≥2 variables over an uncountable field k. We prove that R is complete in its adic topology, that is, the translation invariant topology in which the non-zero ideals form a fundamental system of neighborhoods of 0. In addition we prove that the localization Rm at a maximal ideal m⊂R is adically complete. The first result settles an old conjecture of C.U. Jensen, the second a conjecture of L. Gruson. Our proofs are based on a result of Gruson stating (in two variables) that Rm is adically complete when R=k[X1,X2] and m=(X1,X2).
