The defect formula

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we present a characterization for the defect of a simple algebraic extensions of valued fields. This characterization generalizes the known result for the henselian case, namely that the defect is the product of the relative degrees of limit augmentations. The main tool used here is the graded algebra associated to a valuation on a polynomial ring. Let kh be a henselization of a valued field K. Another relevant result proved in this paper is that for every valuation muh on khx, with restriction mu on kx, the corresponding map mathcalGmuhkmathcalGmuh of graded algebras is an isomorphism.
