Abstract

Let K0(x) be a simple transcendental extension of a field K0, υ0 be a valuation of K0 with value group G0 and residue field K0. Suppose is an inclusion of totally ordered abelian groups with [G1: G0] < ∞ such that G is the direct sum of G1 and an infinite cyclic group. It is proved that there exists an (explicitly constructible) valuation υ of K0(x) extending υ0 such that the value group of υ is G and its residue field is k, where k is a given finite extension of k0. This is analogous to a result of Matignon and Ohm [2, Corollary 3.2] for residually non-algebraic prolongations of υ0 to K0(x).
