Abstract: For an algebraic function field F/K and a discrete valuation v of K with perfect residue field k, we bound the number of discrete valuations on F extending v whose residue fields are algebraic function fields of genus zero over k but not ruled. Assuming that K is relatively algebraically closed in F, we find that the number of nonruled residually transcendental extensions of v to F is bounded by mathfrakg+1 where mathfrakg is the genus of F/K. An application to sums of squares in function fields of curves over mathbbR(!(t)!) is presented.
