We prove that the class of partial differential fields of characteristic zero with an automorphism has a model companion. We then establish the basic model theoretic properties of this theory and prove that it satisfies the Zilber dichotomy…
Generalising the uniform companion for large fields with a single derivation, we construct a theory $\text{UC}_{\mathcal{D}}$ of fields of characteristic $0$ with free operators -- operators determined by a homomorphism from the field to…
A model companion is shown to exist for the theory of partial differential fields of characteristic zero equipped with free operators that commute with the derivations. The free operators here are those introduced in [R. Moosa and T.…
We give algebraic conditions about a finite algebra $B$ over a perfect field of positive characteristic, which are equivalent to the companionability of the theory of fields with "$B$-operators" (i.e. the operators coming from homomorphisms…
The theory of difference-differential fields of characteristic zero has a model-companion denoted by $\it DCFA$. Previously we proved a weak version of Zilber's dichotomy for $\it DCFA$. In this paper we use arc spaces techniques as…
We prove that the theory of differentially closed fields of characteristic zero in $m\geq 1$ commuting derivations DCF$_{0,m}$ satisfies the expected form of the dichotomy. Namely, any minimal type is either locally modular or nonorthogonal…
Let G be a finite group. We explore the model theoretic properties of the class of differential fields of characteristic zero in m commuting derivations equipped with a G-action by differential field automorphisms. In the language of…
E. Hrushovski proved tha the theory of difference-differential fields has a model companion. We prove this result and other maind properties of this theory that we call DCFA. We describe the SU rank a its relation with transcendence degree.…
We introduce a general framework for studying fields equipped with operators, given as co-ordinate functions of homomorphisms into a local algebra $\mathcal{D}$, satisfying various compatibility conditions that we denote by $\Gamma$ and…
We prove that the (elementary) class of differential-difference fields in characteristic $p>0$ admits a model-companion. In the terminology of Chatzidakis-Pillay, this says that the class of differentially closed fields of characteristic…
We prove some results about the model theory of fields with a derivation of the Frobenius map, especially that the model companion of this theory is axiomatizable by axioms used by Wood in the case of the theory $\operatorname{DCF}_p$ and…
For every natural number $m$, the existentially closed models of the theory of fields with $m$ commuting derivations can be given a first-order geometric characterization in several ways. In particular, the theory of these differential…
We continue our earlier study of finite dimensional definable groups in models of the the model companion of an o-minimal L-theory T expanded by a generic derivation as in [F-K]. We generalize Buium's notion of an algebraic D-group to…
We provide a characterisation of differentially large fields in arbitrary characteristic and a single derivation in the spirit of Blum axioms for differentially closed fields. In the case of characteristic zero, we use these axioms to…
Let k be a field, let R be a ring of polynomials in a finite number of variables over k, let D be the ring of k-linear differential operators of R and let f be a non-zero element of R. It is well-known that R_f, with its natural D-module…
Let $T$ be a complete theory of fields, possibly with extra structure. Suppose that model-theoretic algebraic closure agrees with field-theoretic algebraic closure, or more generally that model-theoretic algebraic closure has the exchange…
We introduce and study a new class of differential fields in positive characteristic. We call them separably differentially closed fields and demonstrate that they are the differential analogue of separably closed fields. We prove several…
If $C$ is a curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with genus at least $2$ and $C(\mathbb{Q})$ is empty, then the class of fields $K$ of characteristic 0 such that $C(K) = \varnothing$ has a model companion, which we call $C\mathrm{XF}$. The theory…
Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$ and let $\delta$ be a $\sigma$-derivation of $K$. We show that the division ring $D=K(x;\sigma,\delta)$ either has the property that every finitely generated…
We examine situations, where representations of a finite-dimensional $F$-algebra $A$ defined over a separable extension field $K/F$, have a unique minimal field of definition. Here the base field $F$ is assumed to be a $C_1$-field. In…
