Let $$k$$ be a division ring with an absolute value $$|\cdot|$$ and $$\tau$$ the topology on $$k$$ generated by $$|\cdot|$$. For a vector $$k$$-space $$V$$ and a fixed linear base $$X$$ of $$V$$ a $$(k,\tau)$$-space topology $$\tau_b$$ on $$V$$ is defined as follows: A base at $$0$$ for $$\tau_b$$ consists of subsets $$U(f):=\sum_{x\in X}U_{f(x)}x$$ where for each $$x\in X$$ $$U_{f(x)}$$ is a $$0$$-neighborhood of $$(k,\tau)$$ and $$f\colon X\to\omega$$ is a mapping.
The main result of the paper is: If $$(k,\tau)$$ is a complete topological division ring then $$V$$ admits a $$(k,\tau)$$-space topology $$\tau_1$$ such that $$\tau_1<\tau_b$$ and there is no $$(k,\tau)$$-space topology $$\tau_2$$ on $$V$$ such that $$\tau_1<\tau_2<\tau_b\Leftrightarrow|X|$$ is a measurable cardinal.
Similar results were proved in the authors’ papers [On premaximal topologies on vector spaces, Izv. Akad. Nauk Respub. Moldova Mat. 20, No. 1, 96-105 (1996) and Sib. Mat. Zh. 42, No. 3, 491-506 (2001; Zbl 1020.16033)].
