Abstract
We continue our earlier investigation of dp-finite fields. We show that the "heavy sets" of [6] are exactly the sets of full dp-rank. As a consequence, full dp-rank is a definable property in definable families of sets. If is the group of infinitesimals, we show that is the group of multiplicative infinitesimals. From this, we deduce that the canonical topology is a field topology. Lastly, we consider the (unlikely) conjecture that the canonical topology is a V-topology. Assuming this conjecture, we deduce the classification of dp-finite fields conjectured by Halevi, Hasson, and Jahnke.
