In analogy to valued fields, we study model-theoretic properties of valued vector spaces with variable base field by proving transfer principles down to the skeleton and down to the value set and base field. For instance, we give a formula…
We set up general machinery to study interpretations of fragments of theories. We then apply this to existential fragments of theories of fields, and especially of henselian valued fields. As an application we prove many-one reductions…
These notes form part of a joint research project on the logic of fields with many valuations, connected by a product formula. We define such structures and name them {\em globally valued fields} (GVFs). This text aims primarily at a proof…
A field $K$ in a ring language $\mathcal{L}$ is finitely undecidable if $\mbox{Cons}(\Sigma)$ is undecidable for every nonempty finite $\Sigma \subseteq \mbox{Th}(K; \mathcal{L})$. We extend a construction of Ziegler and (among other…
We study discrete orderings in the real spectrum of a commutative ring by defining discrete prime cones and give an algebro-geometric meaning to some kind of diophantine problems over discretely ordered rings. Also for a discretely ordered…
For a field F with discrete valuation and residue field $k$ we relate the third homology of SL_2(F) with half-integral coefficients to the third homology of SL_2(k) and a certain refined scissors congruence group of k. As an application, we…
We study the extension of valuations centered in a local domain to its henseliza-tion. We prove that a valuation $\nu$ centered in a local domain R uniquely determines a minimal prime H($\nu$) of the henselization R h of R and an extension…
We study the properties of the multiplicative structure on valuations on convex sets. We prove a new version of the hard Lefschetz theorem for even translation invariant continuous valuations, and discuss related problems of integral…
The following strong form of density of definable types is introduced for theories T admitting a fibered dimension function d: given a model M of T and a definable subset X of M^n, there is a definable type p in X, definable over a code for…
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…
We study the existential (and parts of the universal-existential) theory of equicharacteristic henselian valued fields. We prove, among other things, an existential Ax-Kochen-Ershov principle, which roughly says that the existential theory…
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 $K[x]$…
This paper is a step in our program for proving the Piece-Birkhoff Conjecture for regular rings of any dimension (this would contain, in particular, the classical Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture which deals with polynomial rings over a real…
Hadwiger's Theorem states that Euclidean-invariant convex-continuous valuations of definable sets are linear combinations of intrinsic volumes. We lift this result from sets to data distributions over sets, specifically, to definable…
We give an explicit classification of translation-invariant, Lorentz-invariant continuous valuations on convex sets. We also classify the Lorentz-invariant even generalized valuations.
We study finite-dimensional groups definable in models of the theory of real closed fields with a generic derivation (also known as CODF). We prove that any such group definably embeds in a semialgebraic group. We extend the results to…
The main goal of this project is to prove the equivalency of several characterizations of completeness of Archimedean ordered fields; some of which appear in most modern literature as theorems following from the Dedekind completeness of the…
Let V be a rank one discrete valuation ring (DVR) on a field F and let L/F be a finite separable algebraic field extension with [L:F] = m. The integral closure of V in L is a Dedekind domain that encodes the following invariants: (i) the…
The paper proves the intermediate value theorem for polynomials and power series over a valued field with divisible valuation group and infinite residue field. Some further results on the behaviour of the valuation are obtained using…
As mathematical induction is applied to prove statements on natural numbers, {\it continuous induction} (or, {\it real induction}) is a tool to prove some statements in real analysis.(Although, this comparison is somehow an overstatement.)…
