Definition 10.50.13. Let A be a valuation ring.
The totally ordered abelian group (\Gamma , \geq ) of Lemma 10.50.12 is called the value group of the valuation ring A.
The map v : A - \{ 0\} \to \Gamma and also v : K^* \to \Gamma is called the valuation associated to A.
The valuation ring A is called a discrete valuation ring if \Gamma \cong \mathbf{Z}.
