Abstract
Suppose that is a characteristic zero field with infinite transcendence degree over its prime subfield. We show that if there is a gt-henselian topology on then there are pairwise incomparable gt-henselian topologies on . It follows by applying a recent theorem of Will Johnson that if is large and countable then there are pairwise incomparable gt-henselian topologies on . We also formulate several conjectures concerning gt-henselian field topologies and their relationship with the \'etale-open topology.
