Abstract
We define the notion of a smooth pseudo-Riemannian algebraic variety over a field of characteristic , which is an algebraic analogue of the notion of Riemannian manifold and we study, from a model-theoretic perspective, the algebraic differential equation describing the geodesics on . When is the field of real numbers, we prove that if the real points of are Zariski-dense in and if the real analytification of is a compact Riemannian manifold with negative curvature, then the algebraic differential equation describing the geodesics on is absolutely irreducible and its generic type is orthogonal to the constants.
