Abstract:

If $K$ is a field and $G$ a finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of $K$ then every real valuation on $K$ induces a character $G \to {\mathbf {R}}$. It is known that the set $\Delta (G) \subseteq {{\mathbf {R}}^n}$ of all characters induced by valuations is polyhedral. We prove that $\Delta (G)$ satisfies a certain rigidity property and apply this to give a new and conceptual proof of the Brewster-Roseblade result [4] on the group of automorphisms of $K$ stabilizing $G$.
