• Algebraic resolution of formal ideals along a valuation 

    El Hitti, Samar, 1979- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
    Let X be a possibly singular complete algebraic variety, defined over a field [kappa] of characteristic zero. X is nonsingular at [rho] [element of] X if OX,[rho] is a regular local ring. The problem of resolution of ...
  • The asymptotic Samuel function of a filtration 

    Praharaj, Smita Prangya (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
    We extend the asymptotic Samuel function of an ideal to an arbitrary filtration of a Noetherian ring. We observe that although many properties that hold true in the ideal case are true for filtrations, there are many ...
  • Generating sequences of valuations and applications 

    Pham, Vihn An, 1984- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
  • Irrational behavior of algebraic discrete valuations 

    Sanyal, Soumya Deepta (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] We construct a family of algebraic discrete rank 1 valuations whose associated Hilbert function cannot be written as the sum of a quasi-polynomial and ...
  • Simultaneous local resolution along a rational valuation in two dimensional positive characteristic function fields 

    Chenicheri Chathoth, Navaneeth (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
    We consider the condition that a germ of an algebraic mapping of nonsingular surfaces can be made finite, after sufficient blowing up along a nondiscrete rational rank 1 valuation. This problem has been solved in the ...
  • Toroidalization of locally toroidal morphisms 

    Hanumanthu, Krishna Chaithanya, 1981- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
    Let X and Y be nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field [kappa] of characteristic zero. A toroidal structure on X is a simple normal crossing divisor DX on X. Suppose that DX and DY are toroidal structures ...
