Abstract

We clarify the structure of the non-archimedean valuation fieldρ R which was introduced by A. Robinson, and of theρ-non-archimedean hulls of Banach algebras and Lie groups. (For Banach spaces this construction is due to W. A. J. Luxemburg.) In particular, we show that any two infinite-dimensional real normed spaces have a pair of isometrically isomorphicρ-non-archimedean hulls.
