Extensions of Valuations to the Henselization and Completion

icon-email Steven Dale Cutkosky

Abstract

We show that if R is a local domain which is dominated by a valuation v, then there does not always exist a regular local ring R which birationally dominates R and is dominated by v and an extension of v to the Henselization (R)h of R such that the associated graded rings of R and (R)h along the valuations are equal. We also show that there does not always exist R, a prime ideal p of the completion of R such that pR=(0) and an extension of v to R such that the associated graded rings of R and R/p along the valuation are equal.
