On commutative nonarchimedean Banach fields
  We study the problem of whether a commutative nonarchimedean Banach ring which is algebraically a field can be topologized by a multiplicative norm. This can fail in general, but it holds for uniform Banach rings under some mild extra conditions. Notably, any perfectoid ring whose underlying ring is a field is a perfectoid field.
