| Title: | Quantifier elimination for valued fields, parts 1 and 2 |

| Abstract: |  
I will discuss the model-theoretic approach in quantifier
elimination for certain kind of valued fields, namely p-adically closed
fields of a fixed p-rank. This generalizes a result of MacIntyre [M].  
If time permits, I will also discuss the syntactical approach of
quantifier elimination for algebraically close valued fields.
