A ruled residue theorem for function fields of hyperelliptic curves

Commutative Algebra 2025-07-15 v1

Abstract

We study residually transcendental extensions of a valuation vv on a field EE to function fields of hyperelliptic curves over EE. We show that vv has at most finitely many extensions to the function field of a hyperelliptic curve over EE, for which the residue field extension is transcendental but not ruled, assuming that the residue characteristic of vv is either zero or greater than the degree of the hyperelliptic curve.
