AbstractWe give an answer to the question as to whether quantifier elimination is possible in some infinite algebraic extensions of ℚp (‘infinite p-adic fields’) using a natural language extension. The present paper deals with those infinite p-adic fields which admit only tamely ramified algebraic extensions (so-called tame fields). In the case of tame fields whose residue fields satisfy Kaplansky's condition of having no extension of p-divisible degree quantifier elimination is possible when the language of valued fields is extended by the power predicates Pn introduced by Macintyre and, for the residue field, further predicates and constants. For tame infinite p-adic fields with algebraically closed residue fields an extension by Pn predicates is sufficient.

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.

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.

AbstractWe consider valued fields with a distinguished isometry or contractive derivation as valued modules over the Ore ring of difference operators. Under certain assumptions on the residue field, we prove quantifier elimination first in the pure module language, then in that language augmented with a chain of additive subgroups, and finally in a two-sorted language with a valuation map. We apply quantifier elimination to prove that these structures do not have the independence property.

AbstractIn well-known papers ([A-K1], [A-K2], and [E]) J. Ax, S. Kochen, and J. Ershov prove a transfer theorem for henselian valued fields. Here we prove an analogue for henselian valued and ordered fields. The orders for which this result apply are the usual orders and also the higher level orders introduced by E. Becker in [Bl] and [B2]. With certain restrictions, two henselian valued and ordered fields are elementarily equivalent if and only if their value groups (with a little bit more structure) and their residually ordered residue fields (a henselian valued and ordered field induces in a natural way an order in its residue field) are elementarily equivalent. Similar results are proved for elementary embeddings and ∀-extensions (extensions where the structure is existentially closed).

Let K = K0(x, y) be a function field of transcendence degree one over a field K0 with x, y satisfying y2 = F(x), F(x) being any polynomial over K0. Let υ0 be a valuation of K0 having a residue field k0 and υ be a prolongation of υ to K with residue field k. In the present paper, it is proved that if G0⊆G are the value groups of υ0 and υ, then either G/G0 is a torsion group or there exists an (explicitly constructible) subgroup G1 of G containing G0 with [G1:G0]<∞ together with an element γ of G such that G is the direct sum of G1 and the cyclic group ℤγ. As regards the residue fields, a method of explicitly determining k has been described in case k/k0 is a non-algebraic extension and char k0≠2. The description leads to an inequality relating the genus of K/K0 with that of k/k0: this inequality is slightly stronger than the one implied by the well-known genus inequality (cf. [Manuscripta Math.65 (1989), 357–376’, [Manuscripta Math.58 (1987), 179–214]).

AbstractWe show quantifier elimination theorems for real closed valued fields with separated analytic structure and overconvergent analytic structure in their natural one-sorted languages and deduce that such structures are weakly o-minimal. We also provide a short proof that algebraically closed valued fields with separated analytic structure (in any rank) are C-minimal.

Module Of Differentials

Let K be a complete field with respect to a discrete valuation and let L be a finite Galois extension of K. If the residue field extension is separable then the different of L/K can be expressed in terms of the ramification groups by a well-known formula of Hilbert. We will identify the necessary correction term in the general case, and we give inequalities for ramification groups of subextensions L′/K in terms of those of L/K. A question of Krasner in this context is settled with a counterexample. These ramification phenomena can be related to the structure of the module of differentials of the extension of valuation rings. For the case that [L: K] = p2, where p is the residue characteristic, this module is shown to determine the correction term in Hilbert's formula.

AbstractIt is proved in this article that the theory of separably closed nontrivially valued fields of characteristic p > 0 and imperfection degree e > 0 (e ≤ ∞) has quantifier elimination in the language ${{\cal L}_{p,{\rm{div}}}} = \{ + , - , \times ,0,1\} \cup {\{ {\lambda _{n,j}}(x;{y_1}, \ldots ,{y_n})\} _{0 \le n < \omega ,0 \le j < {p^n}}} \cup \{ |\}$; in particular, when e is finite, the corresponding theory has quantifier elimination in the language ${\cal L} = \{ + , - , \times ,0,1\} \cup \{ {b_1}, \ldots ,{b_e}\} \cup {\{ {\lambda _{e,j}}(x;{b_1}, \ldots ,{b_e})\} _{0 \le j < {p^e}}} \cup \{ |\}$.
