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…

We study the relation between two important classes of valued fields: tame fields and defectless fields. We show that in the case of valued fields of equal characteristic or rank one valued fields of mixed characteristic, tame fields are…

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 {\it defect} (also called {\it ramification deficiency}) of valued field extensions is a major stumbling block in deep open problems of valuation theory in positive characteristic. For a detailed analysis, we define and investigate two…

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 prove that a valued field of positive characteristic $p$ that has only finitely many distinct Artin-Schreier extensions (which is a property of infinite NTP$_2$ fields) is dense in its perfect hull. As a consequence, it is a deeply…

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…

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 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…

The goal of this paper is to generalize and refine the classical ramification theory of complete discrete valuation rings to more general valuation rings, in the case of Artin-Schreier extensions. We define refined versions of invariants of…

We consider the class of complete discretely valued fields such that the residue field is of prime characteristic p and the cardinality of a $p$-base is 1. This class includes two-dimensional local and local-global fields. A new definition…

For all simple and finite extension of a valued field, we prove that its defect is the product of the effective degrees of the complete set of key polynomials associated. As a consequence, we obtain a local uniformization theorem for…

For important cases of algebraic extensions of valued fields, we develop presentations of the associated K\"ahler differentials of the extensions of their valuation rings. We compute their annihilators as well as the associated Dedekind…

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…

In this article we further develop the theory of valuation independence and study its relation with classical notions in valuation theory such as immediate and defectless extensions. We use this general theory to settle two open questions…

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 is an introduction to author's ramification theory of a complete discrete valuation field with residue field whose p-basis consists of at most one element. New lower and upper filtrations are defined; cyclic extensions of degree p may…

We give a survey on recent developments in the model theory of valued fields since the introduction of the notion of ``tame valued field'', and of the modifications and generalizations of this notion.

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…

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…
