Differential-henselianity and maximality of asymptotic valued differential fields

Commutative Algebra 2020-12-09 v5 Logic

Abstract

We show that asymptotic (valued differential) fields have unique maximal immediate extensions. Connecting this to differential-henselianity, we prove that any differential-henselian asymptotic field is differential-algebraically maximal, removing the assumption of monotonicity from a theorem of Aschenbrenner, van den Dries, and van der Hoeven (arXiv:1509.02588, Theorem 7.0.3). Finally, we use this result to show the existence and uniqueness of differential-henselizations of asymptotic fields.
