Introduction
Valuation theory offers a common framework for relevant questions in Algebraic Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry.
A fundamental question in valuation theory is the extension problem: given a valued field (K, v) and a monic irreducible polynomial f ∈ K[x], compute all extensions of v to the finite simple extension L = K[x]/(f).
If K is a number field and v is the valuation associated to a prime ideal p in the ring of integers of K, then the extension problem amounts to the computation of the prime ideal decomposition of p in the ring of integers of L.
If C is a curve over an algebraically closed field k of zero characteristic, L = k(C) is its function field and K = k((p)) with p an indeterminate, then computing the extensions of v is equivalent to the decomposition of C into branches at the origin and to parameterize these branches using Puiseux series.
The aim of this course is to analyze a computational resolution of the extension problem given by the OM-algorithm, named after Ore, Mac Lane, Okutsu and Montes. This algorithm uses a routine of polynomial factorization over finite extensions of the residue class field k of the initial valuation v as an essential ingredient. As a consequence, it is specially efficient when k is a finite field, as is the case for number fields and curves over finite fields.
Recent advances in the Mac Lane–Vaquié theory of key polynomials of valuations over the ring K[x] will be reviewed. These tools will be used to reformulate the algorithm in a more elegant and comprehensive way. Some ideas to extend the algorithm beyond the classical rank-one discrete case will be presented too.

SPEAKERS
Maria Alberich
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya
Her doctoral thesis laid the groundwork for the modern theory of plane Cremona maps. With expertise in Singularity Theory from an Algebraic Geometry perspective, she focuses on the local geometry of singularities, emphasizing topological and analytical invariants such as multiplier ideals and the Bernstein-Sato polynomial, along with a keen interest in valuation theory. Additionally, she has contributed to mathematical modeling in robotics.

Jordi Guàrdia is specialized in Number Theory and affiliated with the Number Theory Seminar of Barcelona and the Research Group in Number Theory at UPC. He received the Jaume Vicens Vives distinction for coordinating a project in 2022, and previously, the UPC Quality in University Teaching Award. In 2013, he was honored for his work on the ‘Germanic Roots of Contemporary Mathematics.’

Sebastian Pauli
University of North Carolina Greensboro
His research is in computational number theory. He is particularly interested in algorithms for local fields and computational class field theory while investigating the distributions of the zeros of the (fractional) derivatives of the Riemann Zeta function.
Adrien Poteaux
Université Lille
Adrien Poteaux completed his Ph.D. at the University of Limoges, under the guidance of Moulay Barkatou and Marc Rybowicz.

You can access the thesis and presentation slides for more information.
Joaquim Roé
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
His main research interests are multivariate interpolation, singularities, and valuative properties of algebraic curves. He contributed to the study of the Nagata conjecture and the Segre-Harbourne-Gimigliano-Hirschowitz conjecture, of degenerations of singularities in low dimensions, the Hilbert scheme and Seshadri constants. Recently he has become interested in valuation spaces and nonarchimedean analytic geometry.
Martin Weimann
Université de Caen-Normandie
Martin Weimann’s academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics from the University of Bordeaux I, around residue calculus in complex toric varieties under the supervision of Alain Yger. He works now at the University of Caen Normandie. His research projects focus on areas related to effective algebraic geometry, factorization of polynomials over global and local fields, or computational aspects of algebraic curves.
