In this article, we study the structure of finitely ramified mixed characteristic valued fields. For any two complete discrete valued fields $K_1$ and $K_2$ of mixed characteristic with perfect residue fields, we show that if the $n$-th…

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…

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 classify Artin-Schreier extensions of valued fields with non-trivial defect according to whether they are connected with purely inseparable extensions with non-trivial defect, or not. We use this classification to show that in positive…

Let $K=k((t))$ be a local field of characteristic $p>0$, with perfect residue field $k$. Let $\vec{a}=(a_0,a_1,\dots,a_{n-1})\in W_n(K)$ be a Witt vector of length $n$. Artin-Schreier-Witt theory associates to $\vec{a}$ a cyclic extension…

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…

For a finite totally ramified extension $L$ of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ with the perfect residue field of characteristic $p>0$, it is known that $L/K$ is an abelian extension if the upper ramification breaks are integers and…

We investigate the model completeness of the theory of a mixed characteristic henselian valued field with finite ramification relative to the residue field and value group. We address the case in which the valued field has a value group…

Cyclic, ramified extensions $L/K$ of degree $p$ of local fields with residue characteristic $p$ are fairly well understood. Unless $\mbox{char}(K)=0$ and $L=K(\sqrt[p]{\pi_K})$ for some prime element $\pi_K\in K$, they are defined by an…

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…

Let $K$ be a local field of characteristic $p$ and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified elementary abelian $p$-extension with a single ramification break $b$. Byott and Elder defined the refined ramification breaks of $L/K$, an extension of the…

We use a known example of an algebraically maximal discretely valued field of positive characteristic $p$ which admits purely inseparable extensions of degree $p^2$ with defect $p$ to construct algebraically maximal valued fields of…

We extend the characterization of extremal valued fields given in \cite{[AKP]} to the missing case of valued fields of mixed characteristic with perfect residue field. This leads to a complete characterization of the tame valued fields that…

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…

We give explicit formulas witnessing IP, \IPn or TP2 in fields with Artin-Schreier extensions. We use them to control $p$-extensions of mixed characteristic henselian valued fields, allowing us most notably to generalize to the \NIPn…

Let $A$ be a regular 2-dimensional local ring of characteristic $p>0$, and let $L/K$ be a cyclic extension of degree $p$ of its field of fractions such that the corresponding branch divisor is normal crossing. For each $\gp\in\Spec A$ of…

We give a characterization of ramification groups of local fields with imperfect residue fields, using those for local fields with perfect residue fields. As an application, we reprove an equality of ramification groups for abelian…

We fill a gap in the proof of one of the central theorems in Epp's paper, concerning $p$-cyclic extensions of complete discrete valuation rings.

For a wildly ramified extension $K/k$ of complete discrete valuation fields we study collections of elements of $k[G]$ (where $G=Gal(K/k)$) that fit well for constructing bases of various associated Galois modules and orders. In the case…

In this paper we consider birational properties of ramification in excellent local rings. We extend earlier results of the author with Olivier Piltant to show that strong local monomialization is true along a valuation dominating a…
