We give an informal introduction to formal and rigid geometry over complete discrete valuation rings, and we discuss some applications in algebraic and arithmetic geometry and singularity theory, with special emphasis on recent applications to the Milnor fibration and the motivic zeta function by J. Sebag and the author.

Using a local monomialization result of Knaf and Kuhlmann, we prove that the valuation ring an Abhyankar function field over perfect ground prime characteristic is Frobenius split. We show splitting sufficiently well-behaved center lifts to ring. also investigate properties valuations centered on arbitrary Noetherian domains characteristic. In contrast [arXiv:1507.06009], this paper emphasizes ...

Let $\mathcal R $ be a finite valuation ring of order $q^r$ with $q$ power an odd prime number, and let A \subset \mathcal $. We improve recent result due to Yazici (2018) on sum-product type problem. More precisely, we prove that

We show that the algebraic K -theory of generalized archimedean valuation rings occurring in Durov’s compactification of the spectrum of a number ring is given by stable homotopy groups of certain classifying spaces.We also show that the “residue field at infinity” is badly behaved from a K -theoretic point of view.
