Valuation Extensions of Filtered and Graded Algebras

In this note we relate the valuations of the algebras appearing in the noncommutative geometry of quantized algebras to properties of sublattices in some vector spaces. We consider the case of algebras with PBW-bases and prove that under some mild assumptions, the valuations of the ground field extend to a noncommutative valuation. Later we introduce the notion of F-reductor and graded reductor and reduce the problem of finding an extending noncommutative valuation to finding a reductor in an associated graded ring having a domain for its reduction.
