Algebraic extensions of valued fields (Q1821818)

The author deals with valued field extensions \(F\subseteq F'\) with the same value group of finite rank and proves that if \(R\subseteq R'\) is their valuation ring extension and k the residue field of R and if char k\(=0\) and \(F\subseteq F'\) is algebraic, then R' is a filtered inductive union of its étale, essentially finite sub-R-algebras of finite presentation. Moreover if \([F':F]<\infty\) then \(R\subseteq R'\) is étale, essentially finite and essentially of finite presentation. The author also introduces the definitions of a dense extension, of a desingularization extension, of a weak desingularization extension and of a formally desingularization extension and he studies these extensions.
