Valuations and their generalizations for commutative rings (13A18)

Abstract: We develop notions of valuations on a semiring, with a view toward extending the classical theory of abstract nonsingular curves and discrete valuation rings to this general algebraic setting; the novelty of our approach lies in the implementation of hyperrings to yield a new definition (emph{hyperfield valuation}). In particular, we classify valuations on the semifield

m a t h b b Q_{m a x}

(the max-plus semifield of rational numbers) and also valuations on the `function field'

m a t h b b Q_{m a x} (T)

(the semifield of rational functions over

m a t h b b Q_{m a x}

) which are trivial on

m a t h b b Q_{m a x}

. We construct and study the abstract curve associated to

m a t h b b Q_{m a x} (T)

in relation to the projective line

m a t h b b P_{m a t h b b F_{1}}^{1}

over the field with one element

m a t h b b F_{1}

and the tropical projective line. Finally, we discuss possible connections to tropical curves and Berkovich's theory of analytic spaces.
