Abstract

A first-order theory is Noetherian with respect to the collection of formulae F\mathcal{F} if every definable set is a Boolean combination of instances of formulae in F\mathcal{F} and the topology whose subbasis of closed sets is the collection of instances of arbitrary formulae in F\mathcal{F} is Noetherian. Noetherianity is a strengthening of equationality, which itself implies stability. We show the Noetherianity of the theory of proper pairs of algebraically closed fields in any characteristic.
