Abstract

Let pp be a prime number, KK be the henselization of the rational functions over the finite field Fp\mathbb{F}_p and RR be the ring of additive polynomials over K. We show that the field of Laurent series over Fp\mathbb{F}_p is decidable seen as an R-module. Moreover, we provide a recursively enumerable axiom system (satisfied by KK) in the language of RR-modules together with a unary predicate for the valuation ring, modulo which every positive primitive formula is equivalent to a universal formula. Consequently the RR-module theory of the field of Laurent series is model-complete in this language and admits KK as its prime model.
