AbstractWe prove the triviality of the Grothendieck ring of a ℤ-valued field K under slight conditions on the logical language and on K. We construct a definable bijection from the plane K2 to itself minus a point. When we specialize to local fields with finite residue field, we construct a definable bijection from the valuation ring to itself minus a point.

The purpose of this paper is to study an analogue of Hilbert's seventeenth problem for functions over a valued field which are integral definite on some definable set; that is, that map the given set into the valuation ring. We use model theory to exhibit a uniform method, on various theories of valued fields, for deriving an algebraic characterization of such functions. As part of this method we refine the concept of a function being integral at a point, and make it dependent on the relevant class of valued fields. We apply our framework to algebraically closed valued fields, model complete theories of difference and differential valued fields, and real closed valued fields.

AbstractWe extend the characterization of extremal valued fields given in [2] to the missing case of valued fields of mixed characteristic with perfect residue field. This leads to a complete characterization of the tame valued fields that are extremal. The key to the proof is a model theoretic result about tame valued fields in mixed characteristic. Further, we prove that in an extremal valued field of finitep-degree, the images of all additive polynomials have the optimal approximation property. This fact can be used to improve the axiom system that is suggested in [8] for the elementary theory of Laurent series fields over finite fields. Finally we give examples that demonstrate the problems we are facing when we try to characterize the extremal valued fields with imperfect residue fields. To this end, we describe several ways of constructing extremal valued fields; in particular, we show that in every ℵ1saturated valued field the valuation is a composition of extremal valuations of rank 1.

AbstractIn this note we investigate the question when a henselian valued field carries a nontrivial ∅-definable henselian valuation (in the language of rings). This is clearly not possible when the field is either separably or real closed, and, by the work of Prestel and Ziegler, there are further examples of henselian valued fields which do not admit a ∅-definable nontrivial henselian valuation. We give conditions on the residue field which ensure the existence of a parameter-free definition. In particular, we show that a henselian valued field admits a nontrivial henselian ∅-definable valuation when the residue field is separably closed or sufficiently nonhenselian, or when the absolute Galois group of the (residue) field is nonuniversal.

In [10] we introduced a new first order language for valued fields. This language has three sorts of variables, namely variables for elements of the valued field, variables for elements of the residue field and variables for elements of the value group. contains symbols for the standard field, residue field, and value group operations and a function symbol for the valuation. Essential in our language is a function symbol for an angular component map modulo P, which is a map from the field to the residue field (see Definition 1.2).For this language we proved a quantifier elimination theorem for Henselian valued fields of equicharacteristic zero which possess such an angular component map modulo P [10, Theorem 4.1]. In the first section of this paper we give some partial results on the existence of an angular component map modulo P on an arbitrary valued field.By applying the above quantifier elimination theorem to ultraproducts ΠQp/D, we obtained a quantifier elimination, in the language , for the p-adic field Qp; and this elimination is uniform for almost all primes p [10, Corollary 4.3]. In §2 we prove that our language is essentially stronger than the natural language for p-adic fields in the sense that the angular component map modulo P cannot be defined, uniformly for almost all p, in terms of the natural language for p-adic fields.

We prove that a valued field of positive characteristic [Formula: see text] that has only finitely many distinct Artin–Schreier extensions (which is a property of infinite NTP2 fields) is dense in its perfect hull. As a consequence, it is a deeply ramified field and has [Formula: see text]-divisible value group and perfect residue field. Further, we prove a partial analogue for valued fields of mixed characteristic and observe an open problem about 1-units in this setting. Finally, we fill a gap that occurred in a proof in an earlier paper in which we first introduced a classification of Artin–Schreier defect extensions.

AbstractLet $k$ be a locally compact complete field with respect to a discrete valuation $v$. Let $ \mathcal{O} $ be the valuation ring, $\mathfrak{m}$ the maximal ideal and $F(x)\in \mathcal{O} [x] $ a monic separable polynomial of degree $n$. Let $\delta = v(\mathrm{Disc} (F))$. The Montes algorithm computes an OM factorization of $F$. The single-factor lifting algorithm derives from this data a factorization of $F(\mathrm{mod~} {\mathfrak{m}}^{\nu } )$, for a prescribed precision $\nu $. In this paper we find a new estimate for the complexity of the Montes algorithm, leading to an estimation of $O({n}^{2+ \epsilon } + {n}^{1+ \epsilon } {\delta }^{2+ \epsilon } + {n}^{2} {\nu }^{1+ \epsilon } )$ word operations for the complexity of the computation of a factorization of $F(\mathrm{mod~} {\mathfrak{m}}^{\nu } )$, assuming that the residue field of $k$ is small.

Let D be a tame central division algebra over a Henselian valued field E, [Formula: see text] be the residue division algebra of D, [Formula: see text] be the residue field of E, and n be a positive integer. We prove that Mn([Formula: see text]) has a strictly maximal subfield which is Galois (resp., abelian) over [Formula: see text] if and only if Mn(D) has a strictly maximal subfield K which is Galois (resp., abelian) and tame over E with ΓK ⊆ ΓD, where ΓK and ΓD are the value groups of K and D, respectively. This partially generalizes the result proved by Hanke et al. in 2016 for the case n = 1.

AbstractWe give some general criteria for the stable embeddedness of a definable set. We use these criteria to establish the stable embeddedness in algebraically closed valued fields of two definable sets: The set of balls of a given radius r < 1 contained in the valuation ring and the set of balls of a given multiplicative radius r < 1. We also show that in an algebraically closed valued field a 0-definable set is stably embedded if and only if its algebraic closure is stably embedded.

Let (K, v) be a complete, rank-1 valued field with valuation ring Rv, and residue field kv. Let vx be the Gaussian extension of the valuation v to a simple transcendental extension K(x) defined by The classical Hensel's lemma asserts that if polynomials F(x), G0(x), H0(x) in Rv[x] are such that (i) vx(F(x) – G0(x)H0(x)) > 0, (ii) the leading coefficient of G0(x) has v-valuation zero, (iii) there are polynomials A(x), B(x) belonging to the valuation ring of vx satisfying vx(A(x)G0(x) + B(x)H0(x) – 1) > 0, then there exist G(x), H(x) in K[x] such that (a) F(x) = G(x)H(x), (b) deg G(x) = deg G0(x), (c) vx(G(x)–G0(x)) > 0, vx(H(x) – H0(x)) > 0. In this paper, our goal is to prove an analogous result when vx is replaced by any prolongation w of v to K(x), with the residue field of wa transcendental extension of kv.

AbstractIn this thesis, we study transfer principles in the context of certain Henselian valued fields, namely Henselian valued fields of equicharacteristic $0$ , algebraically closed valued fields, algebraically maximal Kaplansky valued fields, and unramified mixed characteristic Henselian valued fields with perfect residue field. First, we compute the burden of such a valued field in terms of the burden of its value group and its residue field. The burden is a cardinal related to the model theoretic complexity and a notion of dimension associated to $\text {NTP}_2$ theories. We show, for instance, that the Hahn field $\mathbb {F}_p^{\text {alg}}((\mathbb {Z}[1/p]))$ is inp-minimal (of burden 1), and that the ring of Witt vectors $W(\mathbb {F}_p^{\text {alg}})$ over $\mathbb {F}_p^{\text {alg}}$ is not strong (of burden $\omega $ ). This result extends previous work by Chernikov and Simon and realizes an important step toward the classification of Henselian valued fields of finite burden. Second, we show a transfer principle for the property that all types realized in a given elementary extension are definable. It can be written as follows: a valued field as above is stably embedded in an elementary extension if and only if its value group is stably embedded in the corresponding extension of value groups, its residue field is stably embedded in the corresponding extension of residue fields, and the extension of valued fields satisfies a certain algebraic condition. We show, for instance, that all types over the power series field $\mathbb {R}((t))$ are definable. Similarly, all types over the quotient field of $W(\mathbb {F}_p^{\text {alg}})$ are definable. This extends previous work of Cubides and Delon and of Cubides and Ye.These distinct results use a common approach, which has been developed recently. It consists of establishing first a reduction to an intermediate structure called the leading term structure, or $\operatorname {\mathrm {RV}}$ -sort, and then of reducing to the value group and residue field. This leads us to develop similar reduction principles in the context of pure short exact sequences of abelian groups.Abstract prepared by Pierre Touchard.E-mail: [email protected]: https://miami.uni-muenster.de/Record/a612cf73-0a2f-42c4-b1e4-7d28934138a9
