Preordered groups and valued fields

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We study algebraic, combinatorial and topological properties of the set of preorders on a group, and the set of valuations on a field. We show strong analogies between these two kinds of sets and develop a dictionary for these ones. Among the results we make a detailed study of the set of preorders on mathbbZn. We also prove that the set of valuations on a countable field of transcendence degree at least 2 is an ultrametric Cantor set.
