Generalising and unifying the known theorems for difference and differential fields, it is shown that for every finite free ${\mathbb S}$-algebra ${\mathcal D}$ over a field $A$ of characteristic zero the theory of ${\mathcal D}$-fields has…
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…
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…
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.…
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.…
In this thesis three topics on the model theory of partial differential fields are considered: the generalized Galois theory for partial differential fields, geometric axioms for the theory of partial differentially closed fields, and the…
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…
In this paper we study groups definable in existentially closed partial differential fields of characteristic 0 with an automorphism which commutes with the derivations. In particular, we study Zariski dense definable subgroups of simple…
Motivated by possible applications to meromorphic dynamics, and generalising known properties of difference-closed fields, this paper studies the theory CCMA of compact complex manifolds with a generic automorphism. It is shown that while…
We compare modular forms of characteristic $p>0$ (i.e. Drinfeld's modular forms) and automorphic forms. We prove that spaces of these modular forms (which are of characteristic $p$) can be described by function spaces of characteristic…
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…
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…
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…
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 T is an model complete theory with the strict order property, then the theory of the models of T with an automorphism has no model companion.
We prove that the theories of fields with Hasse-Schmidt derivations corresponding to actions of formal groups admit model companions. We also give geometric axiomatizations of these model companions.
This paper provides a full characterization for when the expansion of a complete o-minimal theory by a unary predicate that picks out a divisible dense and codense subgroup has a model companion. This result is motivated by criteria and…
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…
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…
