Abstract
Let be a complete discrete valuation ring and be a perfect ring in characteristic , we also assume is a complete valuation ring whose valuation group is of rank one and non-discrete, we prove the Krull dimension of the ring of -Witt vectors over is at least the cardinality of the continuum.
