am Freitag, 11.11.2016, einen Vortrag zum Thema:
Quasi-ordered fields: a uniform approach to
orderings and valuations
Der Vortrag findet um 13:30 Uhr in F426 statt.
Alle Interessenten sind herzlich eingeladen.
Abstract: Simply said, a quasi-order on a field K is an ordering, except that the
antisymmetry is omitted and the compatibility with plus is weakened. In the note
”Quasi-Ordered Fields” [JPPA 45 (1987) 207-210], the author S. M. Fakhruddin
shows that there are precisely two kinds of quasi-ordered fields, namely ordered
fields and Krull valued fields. Thus, the notion of quasi-orders allows us to treat
ordered and valued fields simultaneously
I will introduce the notion of quasi-ordered fields and present the above result by
Fakhruddin in detail. This talk will be followed up by a talk on quasi-ordered groups
by Gabriel Lehéricy on November 25.
