Abstract

Consider a simple algebraic valued field extension (L/K,v)(L/K,v) and denote by OL\mathcal O_L and OK\mathcal O_K the corresponding valuation rings. The main goal of this paper is to present, under certain assumptions, a description of OL\mathcal O_L in terms of generators and relations over OK\mathcal O_K. The main tool used here are complete sequences of key polynomials. It is known that if the ramification index of (L/K,v)(L/K,v) is one, then every complete set gives rise to a set of generators of OL\mathcal O_L over OK\mathcal O_K. We show that we can find a sequence of key polynomials for (L/K,v)(L/K,v) which satisfies good properties (called neat). Then we present explicit ``neat" relations that generate all the relations between the corresponding generators of OL\mathcal O_L over OK\mathcal O_K.
