What are non-archimedean norms on $\mathbb{R}$, whose restriction to $\mathbb{Q}$ is trivial?
I wonder if there is any classification result on non-archimedean norms on $\mathbb{R}$, with trivial restriction to $\mathbb{Q}$? Any references or examples would be welcomed!
Some examples of such ...

Is $\mathbb{F}_{p}(t)^{h}$ an elementary substructure of/existentially closed in $\mathbb{F}_{p}((t))$?
It is a well-known fact that the Henselization of the function field $\mathbb{F}_{p}(t)$ in regard to the $t$-adic valuation is $\mathbb{F}_{p}(t)^{alg} \cap \mathbb{F}_{p}((t))$, so of course $\...

Rank 1 valuations that are not discrete on finite transcendental extensions of the rationals
Suppose $K=\mathbb{Q}(X_1,\dots,X_n)$ is a purely transcendental extension of the rationals on finitely many indeterminates. Can anyone give an example of a rank $1$ valuation on $K$ that fails to be ...

'Smallest' subfield of the Surreals which is isomorphic to the Surreals as an ordered group
What is the smallest subfield $F\subset N_0$ such that $$(F,+,\times,\leq)\ncong(N_0,+,\times,\leq)$$ but $$(F,+,\leq)\cong(N_0,+,\leq)?$$ Since these are all going to be proper classes cardinality is ...

Luroth's theorem for Discrete valuation rings?
Luroth's theorem states that if $k$ is a field and $L$ is a field extension of $k$ such that $k \subset L \subseteq k(X)$, then $L=k(f(X))$ for some $f(X) \in k(X) $ . My question is ; is there any ...

How to prove that $k(x)$ is not complete in the $x$-adic metric [closed]
It is not hard to find proofs showing that $\mathbb{Q}$ is not complete with respect to the metric induced by the valuation $|\;\;|_p$.
For example, it is enough to recall that every complete metric ...

Extension of a valuation on a function field
Let $K$ be a field, and $K(x)$ the field of rational functions over $K$. Consider the degree valuation $v$ on $K(x)$, That is
$v\left(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right)=\deg(g)-\deg(f)$. So for every $f(x)\in ...

A valued field is said to be algebraic maximal if all its algebraic extension have either a bigger value group or a bigger residue field.
Do you know for which field this is a first order property ?
