How do I extend the $2$-adic absolute value to prove Monsky's Theorem?
In proving Monsky's Theorem, it is required that we define the $2$-adic absolute value on an arbitrary finitely generated extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ say $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n)$...

Separable extensions of henselian fields
Let $(k,v)$ be a henselian field, with $\mathcal{O}$ and $\bar{k}$ being respectively its valuation ring and its residue field. If $K/k$ a finite separable field extension (on which $v$ thus extends ...

Maximal unramified extension and inertia group for separable closure
I have a problem in understanding the inertia group of an infinite extension. I am studying it in this context.
Let $K$ be a field, $v$ a discrete valuation on $K$, and $\mathcal{O}_v$ the discrete ...
