We prove that continuous $A$-bilinear pairings on the ring of Laurent series that are invariant under continuous automorphisms coincide, up to a constant, with the pairing given by the residue of a differential form over any commutative associative ring with identity.
We study functorial polymultiplicative maps from the multiplicative group of the algebra of $n$-times iterated Laurent series over a commutative ring in $n+1$ variables into the multiplicative group of the ring. It is proven that if such a map is invariant under continuous automorphisms of this algebra, then it coincides, up to a sign, with an integer power of the $n$-dimensional Contou-Carrère symbol.
