Compatibility of quasi-orderings and valuations: a Baer-Krull theorem for quasi-ordered rings (Q2314422)

In 1969, \textit{M. E. Manis} introduced valuations on commutative rings [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 20, 193--198 (1969; Zbl 0179.34201)], recently the class of totally quasi-ordered rings was recently developed. In this paper, given a quasi-ordered ring \((R,\preceq)\) and a valuation \(v\) on \(R\), the authors establish the notion of compatibility between \(v\) and \(\preceq\), leading to a definition of the rank of \((R,\preceq)\). The main result is a Baer-Krull theorem for quasi-ordered rings: fixing a Manis valuation \(v\) on \(R\), the authors characterize all \(v\)-compatible quasi-orders of R by lifting the quasi-orders from the residue class domain to \(R\) itself. In particular, this approach generalizes to the ring case the results of [\textit{S. Kuhlmann} and \textit{G. Lehéricy}, Order 35, No. 2, 283--291 (2018; Zbl 1428.06003)].
