Abstract

We show that any positive characteristic tame Hahn field F((tΓ))\mathbb{F}((t^\Gamma)) containing tt is decidable in Lt\mathcal{L}_t, the language of valued fields with a constant symbol for tt, if F\mathbb{F} and Γ\Gamma are decidable. In particular, we obtain decidability of Fp((t1/p))\mathbb{F}_p((t^{1/p^{\infty}})) and Fp((tQ))\mathbb{F}_p((t^{\mathbb{Q}})) in Lt\mathcal{L}_t. This uses a new AKE-principle for equal characteristic tame fields in Lt\mathcal{L}_t, building on work by Kuhlmann, together with Kedlaya's work on finite automata and algebraic extensions of function fields. In the process, we obtain an AKE-principle for tame fields in mixed characteristic.
