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 $\sigma$…

In this article, we give a full description of the topology of the one dimensional affine analytic space $\mathbb{A}_R^1$ over a complete valuation ring $R$ (i.e. a valuation ring with "real valued valuation" which is complete under the…

We prove equidistribution of a generic net of small points in a projective variety X over a function field K. For an algebraic dynamical system over K, we generalize this equidistribution theorem to a small generic net of subvarieties. For…

We give model theoretic criteria for $\exists \forall$ and $\forall \exists$- formulas in the ring language to define uniformly the valuation rings $\mathcal{O}$ of models $(K, \mathcal{O})$ of an elementary theory $\Sigma$ of henselian…

In this paper we generalize a result, concerning a depth equality over local rings, proved independently by Araya and Yoshino, and Iyengar. Our result exploits complexity, a concept which was initially defined by Alperin for finitely…

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…

When $k$ is a field, the classical Jacobian criterion computes the singular locus of an equidimensional, finitely generated $k$-algebra as the closed subset of an ideal generated by appropriate minors of the so-called Jacobian matrix.…

Let R be an unramified regular local ring of mixed characteristic, D an Azumaya R-algebra, K the fraction field of R, Nrd the reduced norm homomorphism for the Azumaya R-algebra D. Let a be a unit in R. It is proved the following: suppose…

We present elements of a theory of translation-invariant integration on finite dimensional vector spaces and on GL_n over a valuation field with local field as residue field. We then discuss the case of an arbitrary algebraic group. This…

Zariski's local uniformization, a weak form of resolution of singularities, implies that every valuation ring containing $\bf Q$ is a filtered direct limit of smooth $\bf Q$-algebras. Given an immediate extension of valuation rings…

In this paper we develop a method for constructing generating sequences for valuations dominating the ring of a two dimensional quotient singularity. Suppose that $K$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $K[X,Y]$ is a…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and let $K=k(t)$ be the rational function field over $k$. In this paper we combine a formula of Ulmer for ranks of certain Jacobians over $K$ with strong upper bounds on endomorphisms of Jacobians…

In this paper we introduce the local Nori fundamental group scheme of a reduced scheme or algebraic stack over a perfect field $k$. We give particular attention to the case of fields: to any field extension $K/k$ we attach a pro-local group…

For a complete valuation field k and a topological space X, we prove the universality of the underlying topological space of the Berkovich spectrum of the Banach k-algebra Cbd(X,k) of bounded continuous k-valued functions on X. This result…

We show that functors like algebraic $K$-theory (such as unitary or symplectic $K$-functors), as well as the higher Grothendieck--Witt groups, possess the local constancy condition for Henselian valuation rings. Namely, taken with finite…

We continue the work of Kaplansky on immediate valued field extensions and determine special properties of elements in such extensions. In particular, we are interested in the question when an immediate valued function field of…

We first give a new proof and also a new formulation for the Abhyankar-Gurjar inversion formula for formal maps of affine spaces. We then use the reformulated Abhyankar-Gurjar formula to give a more straightforward proof for the equivalence…

Let $R$ be a local ring of characteristic $p>0$ which is $F$-finite and has perfect residue field. We compute the generalized Hilbert-Kunz invariant for certain modules over several classes of rings: hypersurfaces of finite representation…

Let $K$ be a field complete with respect to a discrete valuation $v$ of residue characteristic $p$. Let $f(z) \in K[z]$ be a separable polynomial of the form $z^\ell-c.$ Given $a \in K$, we examine the Galois groups and ramification groups…
