Abstract
Let K be a field, Ov a valuation ring of K associated to a valuation v: K→Γ∪{∞}, and mv the unique maximal ideal of Ov. Consider an ideal I of the free K-algebra K⟨X⟩=K⟨X1,...,Xn⟩ on X1,...,Xn. If I is generated by a subset G⊂Ov⟨X⟩ which is a monic Gr\"obner basis of I in K⟨X⟩, where Ov⟨X⟩=Ov⟨X1,...,Xn⟩ is the free Ov-algebra on X1,...,Xn, then the valuation v induces naturally an exhaustive and separated Γ-filtration FvA for the K-algebra A=K⟨X⟩/I, and moreover I∩Ov⟨X⟩=⟨G⟩ holds in Ov⟨X⟩; it follows that, if furthermore G⊂mvOv⟨X⟩ and k⟨X⟩/⟨G⟩ is a domain, where k=Ov/mv is the residue field of Ov, k⟨X⟩=k⟨X1,...,Xn⟩ is the free k-algebra on X1,...,Xn, and G is the image of G under the canonical epimorphism Ov⟨X⟩→k⟨X⟩, then FvA determines a valuation function A→Γ∪{∞}, and thereby v extends naturally to a valuation function on the (skew-)field Δ of fractions of A provided Δ exists.
