Transport of places under semilinear field isomorphisms #
An isomorphism of fields carrying one constant field onto another transports normalized places by composing their valuations with its inverse. The residue fields are correspondingly isomorphic, semilinearly over the constant-field isomorphism, so residue degrees are preserved. This permits coefficient automorphisms to act on places even when they do not fix the constants pointwise, as in Galois actions on base-changed curves.

Transport of places under a semilinear field isomorphism. The compatibility equation
says that τ carries the constants along σ; the transported valuation is v ∘ τ⁻¹.

The order at the transported place is computed by applying the inverse field isomorphism.
The inverse transport has valuation v ∘ τ.
Transport restricts to an isomorphism of the valuation rings.

Instances For
The valuation-ring isomorphism is the restriction of the field isomorphism.
Residue degrees are preserved by semilinear transport. The residue-field isomorphism
carries constants by σ, which suffices to preserve their vector-space dimension.
