A Galois code for valuations
Valuations on a field K are encoded in the absolute Galois group GK of K: They are in one-to-one correspondence to the conjugacy classes of decomposition subgroups of GK which (apart from few
Chapter 10 Z /  abelian-by-central Galois theory of prime divisors
In this manuscript I show how to recover some of the inertia structure of (quasi) divisors of a function field K|k over an algebraically closed base field k from its maximal mod  abelian-by-central
Almost-Commuting-Liftable Subgroups of Galois Groups
Let K be a field and \ell be a prime such that char K \neq \ell. In the presence of sufficiently many roots of unity in K, we show how to recover some of the inertia/decomposition structure of
On the 3-Pfister Number of Quadratic Forms
For a field F of characteristic different from 2, containing a square root of -1, endowed with an F×2-compatible valuation v such that the residue field has at most two square classes, we use a

Abstract Let F be a field of characteristic different from p containing a primitive p-th root of unity. This paper studies the cup product pairing H l(F, p) x H l (F, p) → H 2(F, p) and its
Pro-ℓ abelian-by-central Galois theory of prime divisors
In the present paper it is shown that one can recover much of the inertia structure of (quasi) divisors of a function field K|k over an algebraically closed base field k from the maximal pro-ℓ
Quotients of Milnor K-rings, orderings, and valuations
We define and study the Milnor K-ring of a field F modulo a subgroup of the multiplicative group of F. We compute it in several arithmetical situations, and study the reflection of orderings and
A galois-theoretic characterization ofp-adically closed fields
AbstractLetp be an odd prime,K a field, andGK its absolute Galois group. It is shown thatK isp-adically closed if and only ifGK is isomorphic to an open subgroup of $$G_{\mathbb{Q}_p }$$ . It is
From p-rigid elements to valuations (with a Galois-characterization of p-adic fields).
Let p be an odd prime, F a field with charF=^=/? containing a primitive p-th root of unity and assume aeF\F. If F admits some p-henselian valuation with residual characteriztic Φ p for which the
