Topological Transcendental Fields

Quadratic Fields and Transcendental Numbers

Mohammad Zaki, MN State Univ, Mankato We define an algebraic number α as a root of an algebraic equation, a0∗x+a1∗x+· · ·+an−1∗x+an = 0 where ao, a1, · · · , an are rational integers, not all zero. We say α is an algebraic integer if a0 = 0. If an algebraic number α satisfies an algebraic equation of degree n with rational coefficients, and none of lower degree, then we say α is of degree n. If...

Graded Transcendental Extensions of Graded Fields

We study transcendency properties for graded field extension and give an application to valued field extensions. 1. Introduction. An important tool to study rings with valuation is the so-called associated graded ring construction: to a valuation ring R, we can associate a ring gr(R) graded by the valuation group. This ring is often easier to study, and one tries to lift properties back from gr...

Polynomials in Topological Fields

Topological differential fields

We consider first-order theories of topological fields admitting a modelcompletion and their expansion to differential fields (requiring no interaction between the derivation and the other primitives of the language). We give a criterion under which the expansion still admits a model-completion which we axiomatize. It generalizes previous results due to M. Singer for ordered differential fields...

Topological Representations of Vector Fields

This chapter gives an overview on topological methods for vector field processing. After introducing topological features for 2D and 3D vector fields, we discuss how to extract and use them as visualization tools for complex flow phenomena. We do so both for static and dynamic fields. Finally, we introduce further applications of topological methods for compressing, simplifying, comparing, and ...
