Abstract:

In this paper we study noncommutative valuation rings as defined by Dubrovin. While there is in general no valuation associated to a Dubrovin valuation ring, we show that there is a value function associated to any Dubrovin valuation ring integral over its center. By using value functions we obtain information on Dubrovin valuation rings in a tensor product, both generalizing and giving a much simpler proof of a result about valued division algebras. By being able to work directly with central simple algebras we gain new information about division algebras over Henselian fields.
