Description for Valuations, Orderings, and Milnor $K$-Theory
Hardcover. Presents a comprehensive exposition of the modern theory of valued and ordered fields. This title presents the classical aspects of such fields: their arithmetic, topology, and Galois theory. It emphasizes the close connections and interplay between valuations and orderings, and to a large extent, studies them in a unified manner. Series: Mathematical Surveys and Monographs. Num Pages: 288 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Weight in Grams: 737.
This monograph is a comprehensive exposition of the modern theory of valued and ordered fields. It presents the classical aspects of such fields: their arithmetic, topology, and Galois theory. Deeper cohomological aspects are studied in its last part in an elementary manner. This is done by means of the newly developed theory of generalized Milnor $K$-rings.The book emphasizes the close connections and interplay between valuations and orderings, and to a large extent, studies them in a unified manner. The presentation is almost entirely self-contained. In particular, the text develops the needed machinery of ordered abelian groups. This is then used ... Read more
