We investigate the computability-theoretic properties of valued fields, and in particular algebraically closed valued fields and $p$-adically closed valued fields. We give an effectiveness condition, related to Hensel's lemma, on a valued…

So far there exist just a few results about the uniqueness of maximal immediate valued differential field extensions and about the relationship between differential-algebraic maximality and differential-henselianity; see arXiv:1509.02588,…

In this paper we study the rank one discrete valuations of the field $k((X_1,..., X_n))$ whose center in $k\lcor\X\rcor$ is the maximal ideal. In sections 2 to 6 we give a construction of a system of parametric equations describing such…

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…

For a simple, normal and finite extension of a valued field, we prove that we can related the order of the ramification group of the field extension and the set of key polynomials associated to the extension of the valuation. More…

This thesis is a contribution to the model theory of valued fields. We study forking in valued fields and some of their reducts. We focus particularly on pseudo-local fields, the ultraproducts of residue characteristic zero of the p-adic…

For an arbitrary valued field $(K,v)$ and a given extension $v(K^*)\hookrightarrow\Lambda$ of ordered groups, we analyze the structure of the tree formed by all $\Lambda$-valued extensions of $v$ to the polynomial ring $K[x]$. As an…

Suppose that $k$ is an arbitrary field. Consider the field $k((x_1,...,x_n))$, which is the quotient field of the ring $k[[x_1,...,x_n]]$ of formal power series in the variables $x_1,...,x_n$, with coefficients in $k$. Suppose that $\sigma$…

We study various universal-existential fragments of first-order theories of fields, in particular of function fields and of equicharacteristic henselian valued fields. For example we discuss to what extent the theory of a field k determines…

We investigate distality and existence of distal expansions in valued fields and related structures. In particular, we characterize distality in a large class of ordered abelian groups, provide an AKE-style characterization for henselian…

We develop an extension theory for analytic valuation rings in order to establish Ax-Kochen-Ersov type results for these structures. New is that we can add in salient cases lifts of the residue field and the value group and show that the…

Suppose that $(K,v_0)$ is a valued field, $f(x)\in K[x]$ is a monic and irreducible polynomial and $(L,v)$ is an extension of valued fields, where $L=K[x]/(f(x))$. Let $A$ be a local domain with quotient field $K$ dominated by the valuation…

We classify cuts in (totally) ordered abelian groups $\g$ and compute the coinitiality and cofinality of all cuts in case $\g$ is divisible, in terms of data intrinsically associated to the invariance group of the cut. We relate cuts with…

A field $k$ is called geometrically $C_1$ if every smooth projective separably rationally connected $k$-variety has a $k$-rational point. Given a henselian valued field of equal characteristic $0$ with divisible value group, we show that…

This article is a natural construction of our previous works. In this article, we employ similar ideas due to MacLane to provide an estimate of IC(K(X)|K,v) when (K(X)|K,v) is a valuation algebraic extension. Our central result is an…

In this paper we develop the theory of the depth of a simple algebraic extension of valued fields $(L/K,v)$. This is defined as the minimal number of augmentations appearing in some Mac Lane-Vaqui\'e chain for the valuation on $K[x]$…

We previously obtained a generalization and refinement of results about the ramification theory of Artin-Schreier extensions of discretely valued fields in characteristic $p$ with perfect residue fields to the case of fields with more…

The Ruled Residue Theorem asserts that given a ruled extension $(K|k,v)$ of valued fields, the residue field extension is also ruled. In this paper we analyse the failure of this theorem when we set $K$ to be algebraic function fields of…

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…
