Abstract:
If $\tau$ is a ring topology of a field $R$ such that $(R,\tau)$ is the union of countably many bounded sets, then there exists a ring topology $\hat\tau$ on a simple transcendental extension $R[x]$ of $R$ such that $(R[x],\hat\tau)$ is the union of countably many bounded sets and $\tau$ is the restriction of $\hat\tau$ to $R$.
