Elimination results for tame fields with finite residue fields

Logic 2026-04-30 v1

Abstract

Building on work of Kuhlmann and Lisinski, we study the theory of the Hahn series field Fq( ⁣(Q) ⁣)\mathbb{F}_{q}(\!(\mathbb{Q})\!), over a finite field Fq\mathbb{F}_{q}, equipped with the tt-adic valuation, in a language of valued fields. We prove that every formula is equivalent to a formula y ⁣:f(x1,,xn,y)=0\exists y\colon f(x_{1},\ldots,x_{n},y)=0, for a polynomial fZ[x1,,xn,y]f\in\mathbb{Z}[x_{1},\ldots,x_{n},y].
