Given an algebraic variety
X
X
defined over an algebraically closed field, we study the space
R
Z
(
X
,
x
)
\mathrm {RZ}{(X,x)}
consisting of all the valuations of the function field of
X
X
which are centered in a closed point
x
x
of
X
X
. We concentrate on its homeomorphism type. We prove that, when
x
x
is a regular point, this homeomorphism type only depends on the dimension of
X
X
. If
x
x
is a singular point of a normal surface, we show that it only depends on the dual graph of a good resolution of
(
X
,
x
)
(X,x)
up to some precise equivalence. This is done by studying the relation between
R
Z
(
X
,
x
)
\mathrm {RZ}{(X,x)}
and the normalized non-Archimedean link of
x
x
in
X
X
coming from the point of view of Berkovich geometry. We prove that their behavior is the same.
Let I be an ideal of the ring of formal power series K[ [x, y]] with coefficients in an algebraically closed field K of arbitrary characteristic. Let Φ denote the set of all parametrizations ϕ = (where ϕ = (0, 0) and ϕ(0, 0) = (0, 0). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the invariantcalled the Lojasiewicz exponent of I. Our main result states that for the ideals I of finite codimension the Lojasiewicz exponent L 0 (I) is a Farey number i.e. an integer or a rational number of the form N + b a , where a, b, N are integers such that 0 < b < a < N .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
