TL;DR
This paper classifies valuations and orderings on the real Weyl algebra, addressing open problems in noncommutative valuation theory and revealing limitations of existing extension theorems.
Contribution
It provides a complete classification of valuations and orderings on the real Weyl algebra, solving two open problems and analyzing valuation extensions.

Showed that not all valuations extend to larger rings, characterizing those that do.
Abstract
\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R} \newcommand{\rweyl}{\mathcal{A}_1(\R)} The first Weyl algebra over a field is the -algebra with two generators subject to and was first introduced during the development of quantum mechanics. In this article, we classify all valuations on the real Weyl algebra whose residue field is . We then use a noncommutative version of the Baer-Krull theorem from real algebraic geometry to classify all orderings on . As a byproduct of our studies, we settle two open problems in noncommutative valuation theory. First, we show that not all valuations on with residue field extend to a valuation on a larger ring , where is the ring of Puiseux series, introduced by Marshall and Zhang, with the same residue field,…
