An extension $K/k$ of analytic (i.e. real valued complete) fields is called small if it is topologically-algebraically generated by finitely many elements. We prove that this property is inherited by subextensions and hence topological…

Let $K$ be a local field with residue characteristic $p$ and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified extension of degree $p^k$. In this paper we show that if $L/K$ has only two distinct indices of inseparability then there exists a uniformizer…

Suppose that (K, $\nu$) is a valued field, f (z) $\in$ K[z] is a unitary and irreducible polynomial and (L, $\omega$) is an extension of valued fields, where L = K[z]/(f (z)). Further suppose that A is a local domain with quotient field K…

For a finite totally ramified extension $L$ of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ with the perfect residue field of characteristic $p>0$, it is known that $L/K$ is an abelian extension if the upper ramification breaks are integers and…

Let $K$ be a finite tamely ramified extension of $\Q_p$ and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified $(\Z/p^n\Z)$-extension. Let $\pi_L$ be a uniformizer for $L$, let $\sigma$ be a generator for $\Gal(L/K)$, and let $f(X)$ be an element of $\O_K[X]$…

In this article we study various forms of $\ell$-independence (including the case $\ell=p$) for the cohomology and fundamental groups of varieties over finite fields and equicharacteristic local fields. Our first result is a strong form of…

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…

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…

Given a finite endomorphism $\varphi$ of a variety $X$ defined over the field of fractions $K$ of a Dedekind domain, we study the extension $K(\varphi^{-\infty}(\alpha)) : = \bigcup_{n \geq 1} K(\varphi^{-n}(\alpha))$ generated by the…

We prove that every place P of an algebraic function field F|K of arbitrary characteristic admits local uniformization in a finite extension E of F. We show that E|F can be chosen to be Galois, after a finite purely inseparable extension of…

Given a field $k$ of characteristic zero and an indeterminate $T$, the main topic of the paper is the construction of specializations of any given finite extension of $k(T)$ of degree $n$ that are degree $n$ field extensions of $k$ with…

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…

This is an introduction to the author theory of cyclic p-extensions of an absolutely unramified complete discrete valuation field K with arbitrary residue field of characteristic p. In this theory a homomorphism is constructed from the…

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…
