Positivstellensatz for Semi-Algebraic Sets in Real Closed Valued Fields
PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 143, Number 10, October 2015, Pages 4479–4484 http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/proc/12595 Article electronically published on April 29, 2015 POSITIVSTELLENSATZ FOR SEMI-ALGEBRAIC SETS IN REAL CLOSED VALUED FIELDS NOA LAVI (Communicated by Mirna Dˇzamonja) Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to give a characterization for polyno- mials and rational functions which admit only non-negative values on definable sets in real closed valued fields. That is, generalizing the relative Positivstellen- satz for sets defined also by valuation terms. For this, we use model theoretic tools, together with existence of canonical valuations. 1. Introduction A “Nichtnegativstellensatz” in real algebraic geometry is a theorem which gives an algebraic characterization of those polynomials admitting only non-negative val- ues on a given set. The original Nichtnegativstellensatz is the solution by Artin in [1], Theorem 45, to Hilbert’s seventeenth problem: a polynomial taking only non-negative values can be written as a sum of squares of rational functions. Later on A. Robinson [8] generalized the theorem to any real closed field using the model completeness of real closed fields [9], a model theoretic property which means that any formula is equivalent to an existential formula in the language of rings. For proof see [6, Theorem 5.1, p. 49, and Theorem 5.7, p. 54]. In real algebra, valua- tions come very naturally into the picture. A real closed field K admits a canonical valuation which is non-trivial if and only if the field is non-archimedeam, that is, not embeddable into R. -
8 Complete Fields and Valuation Rings
18.785 Number theory I Fall 2016 Lecture #8 10/04/2016 8 Complete fields and valuation rings In order to make further progress in our investigation of finite extensions L=K of the fraction field K of a Dedekind domain A, and in particular, to determine the primes p of K that ramify in L, we introduce a new tool that will allows us to \localize" fields. We have already seen how useful it can be to localize the ring A at a prime ideal p. This process transforms A into a discrete valuation ring Ap; the DVR Ap is a principal ideal domain and has exactly one nonzero prime ideal, which makes it much easier to study than A. By Proposition 2.7, the localizations of A at its prime ideals p collectively determine the ring A. Localizing A does not change its fraction field K. However, there is an operation we can perform on K that is analogous to localizing A: we can construct the completion of K with respect to one of its absolute values. When K is a global field, this process yields a local field (a term we will define in the next lecture), and we can recover essentially everything we might want to know about K by studying its completions. At first glance taking completions might seem to make things more complicated, but as with localization, it actually simplifies matters considerably. For those who have not seen this construction before, we briefly review some background material on completions, topological rings, and inverse limits. -
Ring Extension Problem, Shukla Cohomology and Ann-Category Theory the Relationship Between Ring Extension Problem in the General Case and Ann- Category Theory
RING EXTENSION PROBLEM, SHUKLA COHOMOLOGY AND ANN-CATEGORY THEORY Nguyen Tien Quang and Nguyen Thu Thuy November 4, 2018 Abstract. Every ring extension of A by R induces a pair of group ho- ∗ ∗ momorphisms L : R → EndZ(A)/L(A); R : R → EndZ(A)/R(A), preserving multiplication, satisfying some certain conditions. A such 4-tuple (R, A, L∗, R∗) is called a ring pre-extension. Each ring pre-extension induces a R-bimodule structure on bicenter KA of ring A, and induces an obstruction k, which is a 3-cocycle of Z-algebra R, with coefficients in R-bimodule KA in the sense of Shukla. Each obstruction k in this sense induces a structure of a regular Ann-category of type (R,KA). This result gives us the first application of Ann- category in extension problems of algebraic structures, as well as in cohomology theories. 1 Introduction Group extension problem has been presented with group of automorphisms Aut(G) and quotient group Aut(G)/In(G) by group of inner automorphisms. For ring extension problem, Mac Lane [1] has replaced the above groups by the ring of bimultiplications MA and the quotient ring PA of MA upon ring of in- ner bimultiplications. Besides, Maclane has replaced commutative, associative laws for addition in ring R by commutative-associative law (u + v) + (r + s)= arXiv:0706.0315v1 [math.CT] 3 Jun 2007 (u+r)+(v+s) and therefore proved that each obstruction of ring extension prob- lem is an element of 3-dimensional cohomology group in the sense of Maclane, and the number of solutions corresponds to 2-dimensional cohomology group of ring under a bijection. -
Isomorphic Groups and Group Rings
Pacific Journal of Mathematics ISOMORPHIC GROUPS AND GROUP RINGS DONALD STEVEN PASSMAN Vol. 15, No. 2 October 1965 PACIFIC JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS Vol. 15, No. 2, 1965 ISOMORPHIC GROUPS AND GROUP RINGS D. S. PASSMAN Let © be a finite group, £ a commutative ring with one and S[@] the group ring of © over S. If ξ> is a group with © = £ then clearly S[(S] = S[£>] where the latter is an S-iso- morphism. We study here the converse question: For which groups © and rings S does £[©] ^ S[ξ>] imply that © is iso- morphic to £)? We consider first the case where S = K is a field. It is known that if © is abelian then Q[@] = Q[ξ>] implies that © = §> where Q is the field of rational numbers. We show here that this result does not extend to all groups ©. In fact by a simple counting argument we exhibit a large set of noniso- morphic p-groups with isomorphic group algebras over all noncharacteristic p fields. Thus for groups in general the only fields if interest are those whose characteristic divides the order of the group. We now let S = R be the ring of integers in some finite algebraic extension of the rationale. We show here that the group ring R[@>] determines the set of normal subgroups of © along with many of the natural operations defined on this set. For example, under the assumption that © is nilpotent, we show that given normal subgroups 3Dΐ and 9ΐ, the group ring determines the commutator subgroup (3JI, 91). Finally we consider several special cases. In particular we show that if © is nilpotent of class 2 then R[(g\ = β[§] implies © = €>. -

FIELD EXTENSION REVIEW SHEET 1. Polynomials and Roots Suppose
FIELD EXTENSION REVIEW SHEET MATH 435 SPRING 2011 1. Polynomials and roots Suppose that k is a field. Then for any element x (possibly in some field extension, possibly an indeterminate), we use • k[x] to denote the smallest ring containing both k and x. • k(x) to denote the smallest field containing both k and x. Given finitely many elements, x1; : : : ; xn, we can also construct k[x1; : : : ; xn] or k(x1; : : : ; xn) analogously. Likewise, we can perform similar constructions for infinite collections of ele- ments (which we denote similarly). Notice that sometimes Q[x] = Q(x) depending on what x is. For example: Exercise 1.1. Prove that Q[i] = Q(i). Now, suppose K is a field, and p(x) 2 K[x] is an irreducible polynomial. Then p(x) is also prime (since K[x] is a PID) and so K[x]=hp(x)i is automatically an integral domain. Exercise 1.2. Prove that K[x]=hp(x)i is a field by proving that hp(x)i is maximal (use the fact that K[x] is a PID). Definition 1.3. An extension field of k is another field K such that k ⊆ K. Given an irreducible p(x) 2 K[x] we view K[x]=hp(x)i as an extension field of k. In particular, one always has an injection k ! K[x]=hp(x)i which sends a 7! a + hp(x)i. We then identify k with its image in K[x]=hp(x)i. Exercise 1.4. Suppose that k ⊆ E is a field extension and α 2 E is a root of an irreducible polynomial p(x) 2 k[x]. -

DISCRIMINANTS in TOWERS Let a Be a Dedekind Domain with Fraction
DISCRIMINANTS IN TOWERS JOSEPH RABINOFF Let A be a Dedekind domain with fraction field F, let K=F be a finite separable ex- tension field, and let B be the integral closure of A in K. In this note, we will define the discriminant ideal B=A and the relative ideal norm NB=A(b). The goal is to prove the formula D [L:K] C=A = NB=A C=B B=A , D D ·D where C is the integral closure of B in a finite separable extension field L=K. See Theo- rem 6.1. The main tool we will use is localizations, and in some sense the main purpose of this note is to demonstrate the utility of localizations in algebraic number theory via the discriminants in towers formula. Our treatment is self-contained in that it only uses results from Samuel’s Algebraic Theory of Numbers, cited as [Samuel]. Remark. All finite extensions of a perfect field are separable, so one can replace “Let K=F be a separable extension” by “suppose F is perfect” here and throughout. Note that Samuel generally assumes the base has characteristic zero when it suffices to assume that an extension is separable. We will use the more general fact, while quoting [Samuel] for the proof. 1. Notation and review. Here we fix some notations and recall some facts proved in [Samuel]. Let K=F be a finite field extension of degree n, and let x1,..., xn K. We define 2 n D x1,..., xn det TrK=F xi x j . -

Notes on Commutative Algebra
Notes on Commutative Algebra Dan Segal February 2015 1 Preliminary definitions etc. Rings: commutative, with identity, usually written 1 or 1R. Ring homomor- phisms are assumed to map 1 to 1. A subring is assumed to have the same identity element. Usually R will denote an arbitrary ring (in this sense). Polynomial rings I will always use t, t1,...,tn to denote independent indeterminates. Thus R[t] is the ring of polynomials in one variable over R, R[t1,...,tn] is the ring of polynomials in n variables over R, etc. The most important property of these rings is the ‘universal property’, which will frequently be used without special explanation: • Given any ring homomorphism f : R → S and elements s1,...,sn ∈ S, ∗ there exists a unique ring homomorphism f : R[t1,...,tn] → S such that ∗ ∗ f (r)= f(r) ∀r ∈ R and f (ti)= si for i = 1,...,n. Modules An R-module is an abelian group M together with an action of R on M. This means: for each r ∈ R, a −→ ar (a ∈ M) is an endomorphism of the abelian group M (i.e. a homomorphism from M to itself), and moreover this assignment gives a ring homomorphism from R into EndZ(M), the ring of all additive endomorphisms of M. In practical terms this means: for all a, b ∈ M and all r, s ∈ R we have (a + b)r = ar + br a1= a a(r + s)= ar + as a(rs)=(ar)s. 1 (Here M is a right R-module; similarly one has left R-modules, but over a commutative ring these are really the same thing.) A submodule of M is an additive subgroup N such that a ∈ N, r ∈ R =⇒ ar ∈ N. -
Valuation Rings Definition 1 ([AK2017, 23.1]). a Discrete Valuation on a Field K Is a Surjective Function V : K × → Z Such Th
Valuation rings Definition 1 ([AK2017, 23.1]). A discrete valuation on a field K is a surjective function × v : K ! Z such that for every x; y 2 K×, (1) v(xy) = v(x) + v(y), (2) v(x + y) ≥ minfv(x); v(y)g if x 6= −y. A = fx 2 K j v(x) ≥ 0g is called the discrete valuation ring of v.A discrete valuation ring, or DVR, is a ring which is a valuation ring of a discrete valuation. Example 2. P1 n (1) The field C((t)) = f n=N ant j N 2 N; an 2 Cg of Laurent series without an essential singularity at t = 0 is the protypical example of a discrete va- P1 n lution ring. The valuation v : C((t)) ! Z sends a series f(t) = n=N ant with aN 6= 0 to N. That is, v(f) is the order of the zero of f at 0 2 C (or minus the order of the pole) when f is considered as a meromorphic function on some neighbourhood of 0 2 C. This can be generalised to any field k by defining 1 X n k((t)) = f ant j N 2 N; an 2 kg: n=N (2) Moreover, if A contains a field k in such a way that k ! A=hπi is an isomorphism for π 2 A with v(π) = 1, then one can show that there is an induced inclusion of fields K ⊂ k((t)), and the valuation of K is induced by that of k((t)). -
Valuation Rings
Valuation Rings Recall that a submonoid Γ+ of a group Γ defines an ordering on Γ, where x ≥ y iff x − y ∈ Γ+. The set of elements x such that x and −x both belong to Γ+ is a subgroup; dividing by this subgroup we find that in the quotient x ≥ y and y ≥ x implies x = y. If this property holds already in Γ and if in addition, for every x ∈ Γ either x or −x belongs to Γ+, the ordering defined by Γ+ is total. A (non-Archimedean) valuation of a field K is a homomorphism v from K∗ onto a totally ordered abelian group Γ such that v(x+y) ≥ min(v(x), v(y)) for any pair x, y of elements whose sum is not zero. Associated to such a valuation is R =: {x : v(x) ∈ Γ+} ∪ {0}; one sees immediately that R is a subring of K with a unique maximal ideal, namely {x ∈ R : v(x) 6= 0}. This R is called the valuation ring associated with the valuation R. Proposition 1 Let R be an integral domain with fraction field K. Then the following are equivalent: 1. There is a valuation v of K for which R is the associated valuation ring. 2. For every element a of K, either a or a−1 belongs to R. 3. The set of principal ideals of R is totally ordered by inclusion. 4. The set of ideals of R is totally ordered by inclusion. 5. R is local and every finitely generated ideal of R is principal.
