Abstract: In this article we further develop the theory of valuation independence and study its relation with classical notions in valuation theory such as immediate and defectless extensions. We use this general theory to settle two open questions regarding vector space defectless extensions of valued fields. Additionally, we provide a characterization of such extensions within various classes of valued fields, extending results of Franc{c}oise Delon.

Review text

This article develops the theory of valuation independence, a concept generalizing linear independence in the framework of vector subspaces in an extension of a valued field. Many results already existing in literature are generalized with respect to rank and dimension; moreover, they are collected in a unified form and proved relying only on algebraic methods and concept of valuation theory. The notions of \(K\)-valuation independence and \(K\)-valuation basis are introduced and strict links with the classical concepts of ``immediate extension and ``defectless extension are stated. A problem that the authors successfully face is the relation between the following two conditions: \begin{itemize} \item[i)] the extension \((L/K,v)\) is vs-defectless, \item[ii)] \(L\) is linearly disjoint over \(K\) for every immediate extension of \(k\) in every common field extension; \end{itemize} such a problem is studied by them in a more general frame.
