Algebraic structures on non-Archimedean Urysohn universal metric spaces
Abstract
We investigate valued-field structures on Urysohn universal ultrametric spaces. We introduce -adic Levi--Civita fields as subfields of -adic Hahn fields and treat them together with ordinary Levi--Civita fields. For a subgroup of containing and a countably infinite perfect field , the corresponding Levi--Civita valued field is isometric to the -Urysohn universal ultrametric space, where . Thus these spaces admit field structures extending prescribed prime valued fields, including with the trivial valuation and the -adic fields . We also prove that complete valued fields with infinite residue fields are haloed, and hence universal for separable ultrametric spaces with corresponding distance sets. In the separable case, such a valued field is itself isometric to the corresponding Urysohn space. Examples include , the completion of the maximal unramified extension of , Laurent series fields, and completions of their algebraic closures. Finally, for a countably infinite perfect residue field, the corresponding full Hahn-type valued field is a Urysohn universal ultrametric space exactly when its value group is order-isomorphic to .
