Valuation rings of mixed characteristic as limits of complete intersection rings

Abstract: We show that a mixed characteristic valuation ring with a value group

G a m m a

and a residue field

k

of characteristic

p > 0

, is a filtered direct limit of complete intersection

-algebras if

has no torsion,

k

is separably generated over

F_{p}

and either

V

is Henselian, or

d i m V = 1

.
