Title: Valuations, bijections, and bases

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to build a theory of commutative and noncommutative injective valuations of various algebras. The targets of our valuations are (well-)ordered commutative and noncommutative (partial or entire) semigroups including any sub-semigroups of the free monoid $F_n$ on $n$ generators and various quotients. In the case when the (partial) valuation semigroup is finitely generated, we construct a generalization of the standard monomial bases for the so-valued algebra, which seems to be new in noncommutative case. Quite remarkably, for any pair of well-ordered valuations one has canonical bijections between the valuation semigroups, which serve as analogs of the celebrated Jordan-H\"older correspondences and these bijections are "almost" homomorphisms of the involved (partial and entire) semigroups.
