We prove a general version of the "Stability Theorem": if $K$ is a valued field such that the ramification theoretical defect is trivial for all of its finite extensions, and if $F|K$ is a finitely generated (transcendental) extension of…

We generalize Deligne's approach to tame geometric class field theory to the case of a relative curve, with arbitrary ramification.

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…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of local fields. The Hasse-Arf theorem says that if Gal$(L/K)$ is abelian then the upper ramification breaks of $L/K$ must be integers. We prove the following converse to the Hasse-Arf theorem: Let $G$…

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 classify the upper ramification breaks of totally ramified nonabelian extensions of degree $p^3$ over a local field of characteristic $p>0$. We find that nonintegral upper ramification breaks can occur for each nonabelian Galois group of…

A theorem of Paul Roberts states that the integral closure of a regular local ring in a generically abelian extension is Cohen-Macaulay, provided the characteristic of the residue field does not divide the order of the Galois group. An…

In this article, we study the structure of finitely ramified mixed characteristic valued fields. For any two complete discrete valued fields $K_1$ and $K_2$ of mixed characteristic with perfect residue fields, we show that if the $n$-th…

Let $(K, v)$ be a Henselian discrete valued field with a quasifinite residue field. This paper proves the existence of an algebraic extension $E/K$ satisfying the following: (i) $E$ has dimension dim$(E) \le 1$, i.e. the Brauer group Br$(E…

We use cell decomposition techniques to study additive reducts of p- adic fields. We consider a very general class of fields, including fields with infinite residue fields, which we study using a multi-sorted language. The results are used…

For a number field K and a prime number p we denote by BP\_K the compositum of the cyclic p-extensions of K embeddable in a cyclic p-extension of arbitrary large degree. Then BP\_K is p-ramified (= unramified outside p) and is a finite…

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…

We give a proposal for future development of the model theory of valued fields. We also summarize some recent results on p-adic numbers.

In this note we study sets of NIP formulas in some theories of fields and valued fields, with a special focus on the sets of quantifier-free and existential formulas. First, we give a new proof of the fact that Separably Closed Valued…

We investigate distality and existence of distal expansions in valued fields and related structures. In particular, we characterize distality in a large class of ordered abelian groups, provide an AKE-style characterization for henselian…

Let $K=k((t))$ be a local field of characteristic $p>0$, with perfect residue field $k$. Let $\vec{a}=(a_0,a_1,\dots,a_{n-1})\in W_n(K)$ be a Witt vector of length $n$. Artin-Schreier-Witt theory associates to $\vec{a}$ a cyclic extension…

In this work we present some arithmetic properties of families of abelian $p$--extensions of global function fields, among which are their generators and their type of ramification and decomposition.

In this paper, we apply Hoshi's mono-anabelian reconstruction of number fields to establish a group-theoretic reconstruction of a number field K together with its maximal unramified outside S extension K_S for a density 1 subset of primes…

We provide a characterisation of differentially large fields in arbitrary characteristic and a single derivation in the spirit of Blum axioms for differentially closed fields. In the case of characteristic zero, we use these axioms to…

In this paper, we characterize NIP henselian valued fields modulo the theory of their residue field, both in an algebraic and in a model-theoretic way. Assuming the conjecture that every infinite NIP field is either separably closed, real…
