Extensions of valuation and absolute valued topologies (Q1059115)

It is known that if L is a separable, finite dimensional extension of a field K and if v is a proper valuation (absolute value) on K, then each ring topology on L whose restriction to K is the topology \(T_ v\) defined on K by v is the supremum of a finite family of valuation (absolute valued) topologies. We give a characterization of the fields K and L and the valuations (absolute values) v on K for which each ring topology on L extending \(T_ v\) is the supremum of a family of valuation (absolute valued) topologies on K when L is an arbitrary finite dimensional extension of K.
