Abstract

In spite of the analogies between ℚp and which became evident through the work of Ax and Kochen, an adaptation of the complete recursive axiom system given by them for ℚp, to the case of does not render a complete axiom system. We show the independence of elementary properties which express the action of additive polynomials as maps on . We formulate an elementary property expressing this action and show that it holds for all maximal valued fields. We also derive an example of a rather simple immediate valued function field over a henselian defectless ground field which is not a henselian rational function field. This example is of special interest in connection with the open problem of local uniformization in positive characteristic.
