On Dimensions, Standard Part Maps, and $p$-Adically Closed Fields

The aim of this paper is to study the dimensions and standard part maps between the field of $p$-adic numbers ${{\mathbb Q}_p}$ and its elementary extension $K$ in the language of rings $L_r$. We show that for any $K$-definable set $X\subseteq K^m$, $\text{dim}_K(X)\geq \text{dim}_{{\mathbb Q}_p}(X\cap {{\mathbb Q}_p}^m)$. Let $V\subseteq K$ be convex hull of $K$ over ${{\mathbb Q}_p}$, and $\text{\st}: V\rightarrow {{\mathbb Q}_p}$ be the standard part map. We show that for any $K$-definable function $f:K^m\rightarrow K$, there is definable subset $D\subseteq{{\mathbb Q}_p}^m$ such that ${{\mathbb Q}_p}^m\backslash D$ has no interior, and for all $x\in D$, either $f(x)\in V$ and $\text{st}(f(\text{st}^{-1}(x)))$ is constant, or $f(\text{st}^{-1}(x))\cap V=\emptyset$. We also prove that $\text{dim}_K(X)\geq \text{dim}_{{\mathbb Q}_p}(\text{st}(X\cap V^m))$ for every definable $X\subseteq K^m$.
