Trees, inverse systems, and valuated vector spaces. (English) Zbl 1115.18300

Summary: We introduce (perhaps unexpected) correspondence between trees, inverse systems of sets or algebras and valuated vector spaces. We also define \(\kappa\)-inverse systems, Aronszajn and Kurepa inverse systems and use the correspondence to prove new results related to non-triviality of inverse limits of surjective inverse systems.
