Description:
This conference is dedicated to Paulo Ribenboim, in recognition
of his extensive contributions to the subject.
Tutorials will be given on July 26 and 27. The conference will be held
from July 28 through August 4. There will be a special session in honor of
Paulo Ribenboim on July 31, and the informal workshop will be held from
August 5 through August 11.
The conference is intended to cover recent developments in valuation theory and its applications: algebraic geometry (especially local uniformization), real algebraic geometry (and quadratic forms), Galois theory, rigid analysis and curves over valuation rings, model theory of valued fields (especially in positive characteristic), o-minimal expansions of the reals (and Hardy fields), ultrametric spaces and spherically complete fields, p-adic numbers, non-commutative valuation theory.
The main topics of the Workshop will be: Local uniformization and resolution of singularities, model theory of valued fields in positive characteristic and its connections with resolution of singularities, the theory of valued function fields, approximate roots and related subjects, o-minimal expansions of the reals and Hardy fields. In addition to these subjects, the workshop will offer an opportunity to discuss other recent developments and open problems which are connected to the scientific program of the conference.
