$$p$$-adic order bounded group valuations on Abelian groups. (English) Zbl 1133.16028
For a finite group $$G$$, and a local field $$K$$ with ring of integers $$R$$ and uniformizer $$\pi$$, a $$p$$-adic order bounded group valuation is a function $$\xi\colon G\to\mathbb{Z}\cup\{\infty\}$$ which takes its finite values on $$G\setminus\{1\}$$ and satisfies $$\xi(gh)\geq\min\{\xi(g),\xi(h)\}$$ like ordinary valuations, as well as $\xi([g,h])\geq\xi(g)+\xi(h),\quad\xi(g^p)\geq p\xi(g),$ together with an inequality depending on the arithmetic of $$K$$. To any such valuation, the $$R$$-algebra generated by the elements $$\pi^{-\xi(g)}(1-g)$$ is a Hopf order in $$KG$$ [see R. G. Larson, J. Algebra 38, 414-452 (1976; Zbl 0407.20007)]. For $$G$$ Abelian, the authors construct the $$p$$-adic order bounded group valuations $$\xi$$. They characterize $$\xi$$ in terms of the corresponding chain of subgroups of $$G$$. Calculations are provided for cyclic or elementary Abelian groups $$G$$. An explicit description of the associated Larson orders is given for $$p$$-groups $$G$$ of order $$\leq p^2$$.
