We consider the question of which semigroups can occur as the semigroup $S_R(\nu)$ of positive values of a rank 1 valuation dominating a Noetherian local ring $R$. We give a number of bounds of polynomial type on the growth of…

In this paper the question of which semigroups are realizable as the semigroup of values attained on a Noetherian local ring which is dominated by a valuation is considered. We give some striking examples, indicating that there may be no…

We consider the question of when a semigroup is the semigroup of a valuation dominating a two dimensional noetherian local domain, giving some surprising examples. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the pair of a semigroup S…

A new criterion is given for a semigroup to be the semigroup of a valuation dominating an equicharacteristic local domain. The criterion is used to construct examples of well ordered subsemigroups of the positive rational numbers which are…

Let $R$ be a complete equicharacteristic noetherian local domain and $\nu$ a valuation of its field of fractions whose valuation ring dominates $R$ with trivial residue field extension. The semigroup of values of $\nu$ on $R\setminus \{0\}$…

Given a well-ordered semi-group $\Gamma$ with a minimal system of generators of ordinal type at most $\omega n$ and of rational rank $r$, which satisfies a positivity and increasing condition, we construct a zero-dimensional valuation…

We work with rational rank 1 valuations centered in regular local rings. Given an algebraic function field $K$ of transcendence degree 3 over $k$, a regular local ring $R$ with $QF(R)=K$ and a $k$-valuation $\nu$ of $K$, we provide an…

A study of the relation between a noetherian local domain with a given valuation and its associated graded ring with respect to the valuation, which in some cases is an esentially toric variety, possibly of infinite embedding dimension, but…

Let $R$ be a complete equicharacteristic noetherian local domain with an algebraically closed residue field $k$. Let $\nu$ be a zero dimensional valuation of rank one centered in $R$ with value group $\Phi$. We show that there is a…

Let (R; m; k) be a local noetherian domain with field of fractions K and R_v a valuation ring, dominating R (not necessarily birationally). Let v|K be the restriction of v to K; by definition, v|K is centered at R. Let \hat{R} denote the…

Among the finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring R, the semidualizing modules have been singled out due to their particularly nice duality properties. When R is a normal domain, we exhibit a natural inclusion of the set of…

We show that if $R$ is a local domain which is dominated by a valuation $\nu$, then there does not always exist a regular local ring $R'$ which birationally dominates R and is dominated by $\nu$ and an extension of $\nu$ to the…

In this paper we consider the question of when the associated graded ring along a valuation, ${\rm gr}_{\nu^*}(S)$, is a finite ${\rm gr}_{\nu^*}(R)$-module, where $S$ is a normal local ring which lies over a normal local ring $R$ and…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $\Gamma$ be an infinite discrete group. The algebraic $K$-theory of the group ring $R[\Gamma]$ is an important object of computation in geometric topology and number theory. When the group ring is…

We give very precise bounds for the congruence subgroup growth of arithmetic groups. This allows us to determine the subgroup growth of irreducible lattices of semisimple Lie groups. In the most general case our results depend on the…

Let $R$ be a one-dimensional, local, Noetherian domain, $\R$ the integral closure of $R$ in its quotient field and $v(R)$ the value set defined by the usual valuation. The aim of the paper is to study the non-negative invariant…

A finitely generated module C over a commutative noetherian ring R is semidualizing if Hom_R(C,C) \cong R and Ext^i_R(C,C) = 0 for all i \geq 1. For certain local Cohen-Macaulay rings (R,m), we verify the equality of Hilbert-Samuel…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m}_R,k)$ be a one-dimensional complete local reduced $k$-algebra over a field of characteristic zero. R. Berger conjectured that $R$ is regular if and only if the universally finite module of differentials $\Omega_R$ is…
