On the Berkovich double residue fields and birational models (2007.03610v3)

Abstract: Just as a residue field can be considered for a point of an algebraic variety, we can also consider a residue field for a point of a Berkovich analytic space. This residue field is a valuation field in the algebraic sense. Then we can consider its residue field as a valuation field. We call it the Berkovich double residue field at the point. In this paper, we consider a point $x$ of the Berkovich analytification of an algebraic variety and identify the Berkovich double residue field at $x$ with the union of the residue fields at the center of $x$ in birational models. Besides, we concretely compute the Berkovich double residue field for any quasi monomial valuation.
