Abstract
When is a finite field, Becker-Denef-Lipschitz (1979) observed that the total residue map , which picks out the constant term of the Laurent series, is definable in the language of rings with a parameter for . Driven by this observation, we study the theory of valued fields equipped with a linear form which specializes to the residue map on the valuation ring. We prove that does not admit a model companion. In addition, we show that the power series field , equipped with such a total residue map, is undecidable whenever is an infinite field. As a consequence, we get that is undecidable, where maps to its complex residue at .
