Places of algebraic function fields in arbitrary characteristic
Franz-Viktor Kuhlmann
We consider the Zariski space of all places of an algebraic function field of arbitrary characteristic and investigate its structure by means of its patch topology. We show t…
Value groups, residue fields and bad places of rational function fields
Franz-Viktor Kuhlmann
We classify all possible extensions of a valuation from a ground field to a rational function field in one or several variables over . We determine which value groups and re…
Additive Polynomials and Their Role in the Model Theory of Valued Fields
Franz-Viktor Kuhlmann
We discuss the role of additive polynomials and -polynomials in the theory of valued fields of positive characteristic and in their model theory. We outline the basic properties…
Dense subfields of henselian fields, and integer parts
Franz-Viktor Kuhlmann
We show that every henselian valued field of residue characteristic 0 admits a proper subfield which is dense in . We present conditions under which this can be taken su…
