We show how suitable extensions $(L|K,v)$ of prime degree of valued fields give rise to definable coarsenings of the valuation rings of $L$ and $K$. In the case of Artin-Schreier and Kummer extensions with wild ramification, we can also…

\'Etant donn\'e un anneau de valuation $V$, de corps r\'esiduel $F$ et de groupe des valeurs $\Gamma$, on donne une condition suffisante pour qu'un anneau local dominant $V$ soit un anneau de valuation de groupe $\Gamma$. Lorsque $V$…

An integral domain $D$ is a {\em valuation ideal factorization domain} (VIFD) if each nonzero principal ideal of $D$ can be written as a finite product of valuation ideals. Clearly, $\pi$-domains are VIFDs. We study the ring-theoretic…

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…

Henselian elements are roots of polynomials which satisfy the conditions of Hensel's Lemma. In this paper we prove that for a finite field extension $(F|L,v)$, if $F$ is contained in the absolute inertia field of $L$, then the valuation…

An equivalence is established between the category of at most $a$-ramified finite separable extensions of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ and the category of at most $a$-ramified finite extensions of the "length-$a$ truncation"…

Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of complete local fields with finite residue fields and let G=Gal(L/K). Let G_1 and G_2 be the first and second ramification groups. Thus L/K is tamely ramified when G_1 is trivial and we say that L/K is…

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 extend results of Denef, Zahidi, Demeyer and the second author to show the following. (1) Rational integers have a single-fold Diophantine definition over the ring of integral functions of any function field of characteristic 0. (2)…

In 2007, Jarden and Narkiewicz raised the following question: Is it true that each algebraic number field has a finite extension L such that the ring of integers of L is generated by its units (as a ring)? In this article, we answer the…

The residual finiteness growth $\text{RF}_G: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ of a finitely generated group $G$ is a function that gives the smallest value of the index $[G:N]$ with $N$ a normal subgroup not containing a non-trivial element $g$,…

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 give a characterization of finitely ramified $\omega$-pseudo complete valued fields of mixed characteristic $(0, p)$, with fixed residue field $k$ and value group $G$ of cardinality $\aleph_{1}$, in terms of a Hahn-like construction over…

We study function fields of curves over a base field $K$ which is either a global field or a large field having a separable field extension of degree divisible by $4$. We show that, for any such function field, Hilbert's 10th Problem has a…

Associative algebras with involution over a field of zero characteristic are considered. It is proved that in this case for any finitely generated associative algebra with involution there exists a finite dimensional algebra with involution…

Let $K$ be a field and $V$ be a set of rank one valuations of $K$. The corresponding Tate-Shafarevich group of a $K$-torus $T$ is $Sha(T , V) = \ker\left(H^1(K , T) \to \prod_{v \in V} H^1(K_v , T)\right)$. We prove that if $K = k(X)$ is…

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…

We study Abhyankar valuations of excellent equicharacteristic local domains with an algebraically closed residue field. For zero dimensional valuations we prove that whenever the ring is complete and the semigroup of values taken by the…

Let $(K,v)$ be a valued field. We review some results of MacLane and Vaqui\'e on extensions of $v$ to valuations on the polynomial ring $K[x]$. We introduce certain MacLane-Vaqui\'e chains of residually transcendental valuations, and we…

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 $K[x]$…
