Abstract: Given a field $ F$ and a subgroup $ S$ of $ F^{\times }$ there is a minimal group $ S\leq H_{S}\leq F^{\times }$ for which there exists an $ S$-compatible valuation whose units are contained in $ H_{S}$. Assuming that $ S$ has finite index in $ F^{\times }$ and contains $ (F^{\times })^{p}$ for $ p$ prime, we describe $ H_{S}$ in computable $ K$-theoretic terms.
