Equivalent forms of Hensel's lemma (Q762553)

In this well-written paper the author describes various conditions centered around Hensel's lemma in the framework of the theory of valued fields. The conditions he is interested in concern the number of extensions of valuations to algebraic extensions, the lifting of polynomials from the residue field, the determination of zeros of polynomials and a geometric formulation concerning the distance of zeros of polynomials. He shows that Hensel's lemma is logically equivalent to these conditions and he introduces several characterizations of Henselian valued fields involving these conditions. The paper includes all the facts which are necessary for detailed reading, all the proofs are spelled out in detail. The paper may serve as a very useful aid in the theory of valued fields.
