Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first of two proceedings volumes stemming from the International Conference and Workshop on Valuation Theory held at the University of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon, SK, Canada). The special feature of this book is its focus on current applications of valuation theory to a broad range of topics. This first volume contains research and survey papers on a variety of valuation-theoretic topics, including rigid analytic geometry, real algebraic geometry, resolution of singularities, noncommutative valuation theory, valuations on fields, and Galois theory. Also included is a paper on the history of valuation theory. The book is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians working in algebra, algebraic geometry, number theory, and mathematical logic.
