Jun 1, 2023 at 20:57 comment added Z Wu @ChrisWuthrich You are right. What I really mean is that I want an axiomatic definition that doesn't use absolute values. I will edit the post.
Jun 1, 2023 at 20:53 comment added Z Wu @WillSawin the axiomatic definition by Artin-Whaples, and the usual definition that list all the global fields.
Jun 1, 2023 at 20:44 comment added Will Sawin What definition of global field are you familiar with?
Jun 1, 2023 at 20:41 comment added Chris Wuthrich Global fields do not come with a preferred topology: I believe no definition of a global field will mention any absolute value.
Jun 1, 2023 at 20:41 comment added Z Wu @WillSawin That sounds like a cool definition! Is there a reference using that definition or proving this equivalence? And is there a similar one for local fields?
Jun 1, 2023 at 20:27 comment added Will Sawin Why not just define global fields as the fields of fractions of Dedekind domains of finite type over $\mathbb Z$?
