The primitive element theorem for differential fields with zero derivation on the ground field

Rings and Algebras 2019-04-02 v3

Abstract

In this paper we strengthen Kolchin's theorem ([1]) in the ordinary case. It states that if a differential field EE is finitely generated over a differential subfield FEF \subset E, trdegFE<trdeg_F E < \infty, and FF contains a nonconstant, i.e. an element ff such that f0f^{\prime} \neq 0, then there exists aEa \in E such that EE is generated by aa and FF. We replace the last condition with the existence of a nonconstant element in EE.
