Alberich-Carramiñana M., Galindo C., Küronya A., Roé J. (Eds.) Extended Abstracts February 2016: Positivity and Valuations

Springer, 2018. — 120 p. — (Trends in Mathematics 09: Research Perspectives CRM Barcelona). — ISBN: 978-3-030-00026-4.This volume collects Extended Conference Abstracts originated at the workshop “Positivity and Valuations”, held at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica in February 2016. This workshop brought together a variety of researchers, some of them experts on valuations, others interested in their use in the study of positivity in Algebraic Geometry.
Valuation theory was initiated by Kürschák for treating the theory of p-adic fields more than a century ago; it has been flourishing ever since, with deep connections to algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry and the theory of ordered fields. Much of algebraic number theory can be better understood by using valuation theoretic methods, and the same principle applies to the resolution of singularities or the structure of singularities as realized by Zariski and Abhyankar.Newton–Okounkov Bodies of Exceptional Curve Plane Valuations Non-positive at Infinity
