Uniform extensions of layered semifields

Abstract

In this paper we introduce a canonical method of constructing simple uniform semifield extensions of uniform layered semifields introduced by Izhakian Knebusch and Rowen in the paper 'Layered tropical mathematics'. Our construction includes a decomposition of a uniform extension of a uniformly layered (uniform) semifield to the bipotent semifield extension of its $\nu$-values semifield and a cancellative semifields extension of its layers (sorting) semifield. We give a characterization of these two types of semifields extensions in the first two sections of the paper. The third section glues the pieces together to form a theory for a uniform extension of a uniformly layered semifield.
