Generalizing a result of Wulf-Dieter Geyer in his thesis, we prove that if $K$ is a finitely generated extension of transcendence degree $r$ of a global field and $A$ is a closed abelian subgroup of $\textrm{Gal}(K)$, then ${\mathrm{rank}}(A)\le r+1$. Moreover, if $\mathrm{char}(K)=0$, then ${\hat{\mathbb{Z}}}^{r+1}$ is isomorphic to a closed subgroup of $\textrm{Gal}(K)$.

We study the model theory of fields k carrying a henselian valuation with real closed residue field. We give a criteria for elementary equivalence and elementary inclusion of such fields involving the value group of a not necessarily definable valuation. This allows us to translate theories of such fields to theories of ordered abelian groups, and we study the properties of this translation. We also characterize the first-order definable convex subgroups of a given ordered abelian group and prove that the definable real valuation rings of k are in correspondence with the definable convex subgroups of the value group of a certain real valuation of k.
