Abstract: We define "t-stratifications", a strong notion of stratifications for Henselian valued fields K of equi-characteristic 0, and prove that they exist. In contrast to classical stratifications in Archimedean fields, t-stratifications also contain non-local information about the stratified sets. For example, they do not only see the singularities in the valued field, but also those in the residue field. Like Whitney stratifications, t-stratifications exist for different classes of subsets of Kn, e.g. algebraic subvarieties or certain classes of analytic subsets. The general framework are definable sets (in the sense of model theory) in a language that satisfies certain hypotheses. We give two applications. First, we show that t-stratifications in suitable valued fields K induce classical Whitney stratifications in BbbR or BbbC; in particular, the existence of t-stratifications implies the existence of Whitney stratifications. This uses methods of non-standard analysis. Second, we show how, using t-stratifications, one can determine the ultra-metric isometry type of definable subsets of BbbZpn for p sufficiently big. For those p, this proves a conjecture stated in a previous article. In particular, this yields a new, geometric proof of the rationality of Poincar'e series.
