Superrosy fields and valuations
Abstract
We prove that every non-trivial valuation on an infinite superrosy field of positive characteristic has divisible value group and algebraically closed residue field. In fact, we prove the following more general result. Let be a field such that for every finite extension of and for every natural number the index is finite and, if and is given by , the index is also finite. Then either there is a non-trivial definable valuation on , or every non-trivial valuation on has divisible value group and, if , it has algebraically closed residue field. In the zero characteristic case, we get some partial results of this kind. We also notice that minimal fields have the property that every non-trivial valuation has divisible value group and algebraically closed residue field.
