Taylor series and divisibility

LetA be an augmentedK-algebra; defineT:A →A ?k _kA byT(a)=1?a ?a?1,a ∈A. We prove, under some conditions, thatg is in the subalgebraK[f] ofA generated byf if and only ifT(g) is in the principal ideal generated byT(f) inA?k _kA. WhenA=K[[X]],T(f) is a multiple ofT(X) if and only iff belongs to the ringL obtained by localizingK[X] at (X).
