Discrete valuations on function fields

AUTHORS:

  • Julian Rüth (2016-10-16): initial version

EXAMPLES:

We can create classical valuations that correspond to finite and infinite places on a rational function field:

sage: K.<x> = FunctionField(QQ)
sage: v = K.valuation(1); v
(x - 1)-adic valuation
sage: v = K.valuation(x^2 + 1); v
(x^2 + 1)-adic valuation
sage: v = K.valuation(1/x); v
Valuation at the infinite place

Note that we can also specify valuations which do not correspond to a place of the function field:

sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
sage: w = valuations.GaussValuation(R, QQ.valuation(2))
sage: v = K.valuation(w); v
2-adic valuation

Valuations on a rational function field can then be extended to finite extensions:

sage: v = K.valuation(x - 1); v
(x - 1)-adic valuation
sage: R.<y> = K[]
sage: L.<y> = K.extension(y^2 - x)
sage: w = v.extensions(L); w
[[ (x - 1)-adic valuation, v(y + 1) = 1 ]-adic valuation,
 [ (x - 1)-adic valuation, v(y - 1) = 1 ]-adic valuation]

An overview of some computational tools relating to valuations on function fields can be found in Section 4.6 of [Rüt2014]. Most of this was originally developed for number fields in [Mac1936I] and [Mac1936II].

simplify(f, error=None, force=False)

Return a simplified version of f.

EXAMPLES:

sage: K.<x> = FunctionField(QQ)
