Definable Valuations induced by multiplicative subgroups and NIP Fields

We study the algebraic implications of the non-independence property (NIP) and variants thereof (dp-minimality) on infinite fields, motivated by the conjecture that all such fields which are neither real closed nor separably closed admit a definable henselian valuation. Our results mainly focus on Hahn fields and build up on Will Johnson’s preprint “dp-minimal fields”, arXiv: 1507.02745v1, July 2015.
