Abstract
We prove that in a countable theory fully stable over a predicate , any -complete set has the -existence property. This means that can be extended to a -saturated model of without changing the -part. The notion of -completeness, introduced in this paper, captures some obvious necessary conditions for such an extension to be possible (for example, the -part of has to be a -saturated model of the appropriate theory). So in a fully stable theory , -existence can only fail for trivial reasons. This generalizes results of Chatzidakis in the context of difference fields of characteristic 0.
