Definition

Let $R$ be a division ring.

Let $\norm {\,\cdot\,}_1: R \to \R_{\ge 0}$ and $\norm {\,\cdot\,}_2: R \to \R_{\ge 0}$ be norms on $R$.

Let $d_1$ and $d_2$ be the metrics induced by the norms $\norm{\,\cdot\,}_1$ and $\norm{\,\cdot\,}_2$ respectively.


$\norm {\,\cdot\,}_1$ and $\norm {\,\cdot\,}_2$ are equivalent if and only if $\forall x \in R: \norm x_1 < 1 \iff \norm x_2 < 1$
