Let $\iota:K\hookrightarrow L\cong K(x)$ be a simple transcendental extension of valued fields, where $K$ is equipped with a valuation $\nu$ of rank 1. That is, we assume given a rank 1 valuation $\nu$ of $K$ and its extension $\nu'$ to…

The notion of key polynomials was first introduced in 1936 by S. Maclane in the case of discrete rank 1 valuations. . Let K -> L be a field extension and {\nu} a valuation of K. The original motivation for introducing key polynomials was…

Let $K\to L$ be an algebraic field extension and $\nu$ a valuation of $K$. The purpose of this paper is to describe the totality of extensions $\left\{\nu'\right\}$ of $\nu$ to $L$ using a refined version of MacLane's key polynomials. In…

In this paper we give an introduction on how one can extend a valuation from a field $K$ to the polynomial ring $K[x]$ in one variable over $K$. This follows a similar line as the one presented by the author in his talk at ALaNT 5. We will…

In this paper we establish the relation between key polynomials (as defined in \cite{SopivNova}) and minimal pairs of definition of a valuation. We also discuss truncations of valuations on a polynomial ring $K[x]$. We prove that a…

Let $\iota:(K,\nu)\hookrightarrow(K(x),\mu)$ be a simple purely transcendental extension of valued fields. In order to study such an extension, M. Vaqui\'e, generalizing an earlier construction of S. Mac Lane, introduced the notion of Key…

In this paper we introduce a new concept of key polynomials for a given valuation $\nu$ on $K[x]$. We prove that such polynomials have many of the expected properties of key polynomials as those defined by MacLane and Vaqui\'e, for…

Let $\nu$ be a valuation of arbitrary rank on the polynomial ring $K[x]$ with coefficients in a field $K$. We prove comparison theorems between MacLane-Vaqui\'e key polynomials for valuations $\mu\le\nu$ and abstract key polynomials for…

Let K be a field. For a given valuation on K[x], we determine the structure of its graded algebra and describe its set of key polynomials, in terms of any given key polynomial of minimal degree. We also characterize valuations not admitting…

This article is a natural construction of our previous works. In this article, we employ similar ideas due to MacLane to provide an estimate of IC(K(X)|K,v) when (K(X)|K,v) is a valuation algebraic extension. Our central result is an…

In this paper, we extend the theory of minimal limit key polynomials of valuations on the polynomial ring $\kx$. We use the theory of cuts on ordered abelian groups to show that the previous results on bounded sets of key polynomials of…

Let $(K,\nu)$ be an arbitrary-rank valued field, $R_\nu$ its valuation ring, $K(\alpha)/K$ a separable finite field extension generated over $K$ by a root of a monic irreducible polynomial $f\in R_\nu[X]$. We give necessary and sufficient…

The main goal of this paper is to characterize limit key polynomials for a valuation $\nu$ on $K[x]$. We consider the set $\Psi_\alpha$ of key polynomials for $\nu$ of degree $\alpha$. We set $p$ be the exponent characteristic of $\nu$. Our…

Let $(K, \nu)$ be a valued field, the notions of \emph{augmented valuation}, of \emph{limit augmented valuation} and of \emph{admissible family} of valuations enable to give a description of any valuation $\mu$ of $K [x]$ extending $\nu$.…

Suppose that $(K,v_0)$ is a valued field, $f(x)\in K[x]$ is a monic and irreducible polynomial and $(L,v)$ is an extension of valued fields, where $L=K[x]/(f(x))$. Let $A$ be a local domain with quotient field $K$ dominated by the valuation…

For a fixed irreducible polynomial $F$ we study the set $\mathcal V_F$ of all valuations on $K[x]$ bounded by valuations whose support is $(F)$. The first main result presents a characterization for valuations in $\mathcal V_F$ in terms of…

Let $V$ be a valuation domain with quotient field $K$. We show how to describe all extensions of $V$ to $K(X)$ when the $V$-adic completion $\widehat{K}$ is algebraically closed, generalizing a similar result obtained by Ostrowski in the…

Let $V$ be a valuation domain of rank one and quotient field $K$. Let $\overline{\hat{K}}$ be a fixed algebraic closure of the $v$-adic completion $\hat K$ of $K$ and let $\overline{\hat{V}}$ be the integral closure of $\hat V$ in…

Let $K$ be a field equipped with a discrete valuation $v$. In a pioneering work, S. MacLane determined all valuations on $K(x)$ extending $v$. His work was recently reviewed and generalized by M. Vaqui\'e, by using the graded algebra of a…

We give a first-order definition of key polynomials, we show the links with previous definitions, that it is relevant to study key degrees, and to use a kind of valuations that we call partially multiplicative. We also prove or reprove…
