Abstract

Let K = K0(x,y) be a function field of transcendence degree one over a field K0 with x,y satisfying y2 = F(x), F(x) being any polynomial over K0. Let v0 be a valuation of K0 having a residue field K0 and v be a prolongation of v0 to K with residue field k. In the present paper, it is proved that if G0⊆G are the value groups of v0 and v, then either G/G0 is a torsion group or there exists an (explicitly constructive) subgroup G1 of G containing G0 with [G1:G0]<∞ together with an element ϒ of G such that G is the direct sum of G1 and the cyclic group Zϒ. As regards the residue fields, a method of explicitly determining A: has been described in case k/k0 is a non-algebraic extension and char k0≠2. The description leads to an inequality relating the genus of K/K0 with that of k/k0: this inequality is slightly stronger than the one implied by the well-known genus inequality (cf. [Manuscripta Math. 65 (1989), 357-376], \_Manuscripta Math. 58 (1987), 179-214]).
