Generalized Feller theory provides an important analog to Feller theory beyond locally compact state spaces. This is very useful for solutions of certain stochastic partial differential equations, Markovian lifts of fractional processes, or…

Let $k$ be a field, $K/k$ finitely generated and $L/K$ a finite, separable extension. We show that the existence of a $k$-valuation on $L$ which ramifies in $L/K$ implies the existence of a normal model $X$ of $K$ and a prime divisor $D$ on…

Let $p$ be a prime number and let $K$ be a finite extension of the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers. Let $N$ be a fully ramified, elementary abelian extension of $K$. Under a mild hypothesis on the extension $N/K$, we show that…

In recent decades, the defect of finite extensions of valued fields has emerged as the main obstacle in several fundamental problems in algebraic geometry such as the local uniformization problem. Hence, it is important to identify…

We prove that some of the basic differential functions appearing in the (unramified) theory of arithmetic differential equations, especially some of the basic differential modular forms in that theory, arise from a "ramified situation".…

Assume that $(L,v)$ is a finite Galois extension of a valued field $(K,v)$. We give an explicit construction of the valuation ring $\mathcal O_L$ of $L$ as an $\mathcal O_K$-algebra, and an explicit description of the module of relative…

This article discusses ramification and the structure of relative K\"ahler differentials of extensions of valued fields. We begin by surveying the theory developed in recent work with Franz-Viktor Kuhlmann and Anna Rzepka constructing the…

Given a hilbertian field $k$ of characteristic zero and a finite Galois extension $E/k(T)$ with group $G$ such that $E/k$ is regular, we produce some specializations of $E/k(T)$ at points $t_0 \in \mathbb{P}^1(k)$ which have the same Galois…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$ and set $K=k((t))$. In this paper we study the ramification properties of elements of Aut$_k(K)$. By choosing a uniformizer for $K$ we may interpret our theorems in terms of power series over…

We study the following question: given a global field $F$ and finite group $G$, what is the minimal $r$ such that there exists a finite extension $K/F$ with $\mathrm{Aut}(K/F)\cong G$ that is ramified over exactly $r$ places of $F$? We…

Author's generalization of one-dimensional class field theory to theory of abelian totally ramified p-extensions of a complete discrete valuation field with arbitrary non-separably p-closed residue field and its applications are described.

We describe the absolute values on a field which simultaneously extend absolute values on two subfields. We also give a common generalization of many versions of Abhyankar's lemma on ramification indices, which is both widely applicable and…

We prove local uniformization of Abhyankar valuations of an algebraic function field K over a ground field k. Our result generalizes the proof of this result, with the additional assumption that the residue field of the valuation ring is…

Let $k$ be a rational congruence function field and consider an arbitrary finite separable extension $K/k$. If for each prime in $k$ ramified in $K$ we have that at least one ramification index is not divided by the characteristic of $K$,…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. Let $A$ be an affine domain over $K$ with transcendence degree 1 which is not isomorphic to $K[x]$, and let $B$ be a domain over $K$. We show that the AK invariant…

The purpose of this note is to give a simple proof of the following theorem: Let $X$ be a normal projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$, $\op{char} k = 0$ and let $D \subset X$ be a proper closed subvariety of $X$. Then…

We continue the work of Kaplansky on immediate valued field extensions and determine special properties of elements in such extensions. In particular, we are interested in the question when an immediate valued function field of…

We introduce a notion of tame ramification for general finite covers. When specialized to the separable case, it extends to higher dimensions the classical notion of tame ramification for Dedekind domains and curves and sits nicely in…

For a valued field $(K,v)$, with a fixed extension of $v$ to the algebraic closure $\overline K$ of $K$, and an element $\theta\in\overline K$, we are interested in the possible values of $\theta-\theta'$ where $\theta'$ runs through all…

We present a new proof of descent for stably dominated types in any theory, dropping the hypothesis of the existence of global invariant extensions. Additionally, we give a much simpler proof of descent for stably dominated types in…
