We prove an embedded local uniformization theroem for a valuation centered on a point of a quasi-excellent scheme of characteristic zero. The proof reduces to valuations of rank 1 and consists in desingularizing the ideal formed by the…
In this paper we present a characterization for the defect of a simple algebraic extension of rank one valued fields using the key polynomials that define the valuation. As a particular example, this gives the classification of defect…
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…
This paper gives a survey on a valuation theoretical approach to local uniformization in positive characteristic, the model theory of valued fields in positive characteristic, and their connection with the valuation theoretical phenomenon…
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…
We study in detail the valuation theory of deeply ramified fields and introduce and investigate several other related classes of valued fields. Further, a classification of defect extensions of prime degree of valued fields that was earlier…
In this paper we present a characterization for the defect of a simple algebraic extensions of valued fields. This characterization generalizes the known result for the henselian case, namely that the defect is the product of the relative…
We give an introduction to the valuation theoretical phenomenon of "defect", also known as "ramification deficiency". We describe the role it plays in deep open problems in positive characteristic: local uniformization (the local form of…
The main result of this paper is that in order to prove the local uniformization theorem for local rings it is enough to prove it for rank one valuations. Our proof does not depend on the nature of the class of local rings for which we want…
We develop an extension of valuations theorem for suitable extensions of idempotent semirings. As an application, we give a new proof for the classical case of fields. Along the way, we develop characteristic one analogues of some central…
We prove that every place of an algebraic function field F|K of arbitrary characteristic admits local uniformization in a finite extension F' of F. We show that F'|F can be chosen to be normal. If K is perfect and P is of rank 1, then…
We prove a general version of the "Stability Theorem": if $K$ is a valued field such that the ramification theoretical defect is trivial for all of its finite extensions, and if $F|K$ is a finitely generated (transcendental) extension of…
Let F be a field complete for a real valuation. It is a standard result in valuation theory that a finite extension of F admits a valuation basis if and only if it is without defect. We show that even otherwise, one can construct bases in…
In this paper we give an introduction on how one can extend a valuation from a field $K$ to the polynomial ring $K[x]$ in one variable over $K$. This follows a similar line as the one presented by the author in his talk at ALaNT 5. We will…
In this paper we give a short introduction to the local uniformization problem. This follows a similar line as the one presented by the second author in his talk at ALANT 3. We also discuss our paper on the reduction of local uniformization…
We give a new proof of the simultaneous embedded local uniformization Theorem in zero characteristic for essentially of finite type rings and for quasi excellent rings. The results are a consequence of the simultaneaous monomialization…
Let $K\to L$ be an algebraic field extension and $\nu$ a valuation of $K$. The purpose of this paper is to describe the totality of extensions $\left\{\nu'\right\}$ of $\nu$ to $L$ using a refined version of MacLane's key polynomials. In…
This is a continuation of a previous paper by the same authors. In the former paper, it was proved that in order to obtain local uniformization for valuations centered on local domains, it is enough to prove it for rank one valuations. In…
We give a first-order definition of key polynomials, we show the links with previous definitions, that it is relevant to study key degrees, and to use a kind of valuations that we call partially multiplicative. We also prove or reprove…
In this paper I consider polynomial composites with the coefficients from $K\subset L$. We already know many properties, but we do not know the answer to the question of whether there is a relationship between composites and field…
