algebra and model theory; in particular:

• general valuation theory and field theory
• applications of valuation theory to algebraic and arithmetic algebraic geometry: local uniformization and desingularization in arbitrary characteristic
• model theory of valued fields (generalizations of the Ax-Kochen-Ershov Theorem and quantifier elimination), power series fields in positive characteristic
• valuations on function fields
• valuation theory of ordered fields with exponential functions or derivations, Hardy fields, o-minimality
• ordered structures, lexicographic products of ordered sets
• ultrametric spaces
• algorithmic and computational aspects and applications of valuation theory
