Abstract:

An explicit description is given of a nondiscrete ring topology on the field Q of rational numbers which is strictly finer than the locally bounded topology on Q having the ring of integers as a preorder. It is observed that either there exist nonvaluable minimal ring topologies or there exist ring topologies containing no minimal ring topologies.
