Abstract: Let

k

be a field with a real valuation

u

and

R

a

k

-algebra. We show that there exist a

k

-algebra

K

and a real valuation

m u

on

K

extending

u

such that any real ring valuation of

R

is induced by

m u

via some homomorphism from

R

to

K

;

K

can be chosen to be a field. Then we study the case when

u

is trivial and

R

a complete local Noetherian ring with the residue field

k

. Let

K

be the ring

of Hahn series with its natural valuation

m u

;

is an algebraic closure of

k

. Despite

K

is not universal in the strong sense defined above, it has the following weak universality property: for any local valuation

v

and a finite set of elements

x_{1}, ..., x_{n}

of

R

there exists a homomorphism

f c o l o n R o K

such that

v (x_{i}) = m u (f (x_{i}))

,

i = 1, ..., n

. If

R = k [[x_{1}, ..., x_{n}]] / I

for an ideal

I

, this property implies that every point of the local tropical variety of

I

lifts to a

K

-point of

R

. Similarly, if

R = k [x_{1}, ..., x_{n}] / I

is a finitely generated algebra over

k

, lifting points in the tropical variety of

I

can be interpreted as the weak universality property of the field

of Hahn series.
