Valued Modules over Skew Polynomial Rings 2

Abstract

Following our first article, we continue to investigate ultrametic modules over a ring of twisted polynomials of the form [K;\vfi][K;\vfi], where \vfi\vfi is a ring endomorphism of KK. The main motivation comes from the the theory of valued difference fields (including characteristic p>0p>0 valued fields equipped with the Frobenius endomorphism). We introduce the class of modules, that we call, affinely maximal and residually divisible and we prove (relative -) quantifier elimination results. Ax-Kochen \& Erhov type theorems follows. As an application, we axiomatize, as a valued module, any ultraproduct of algebraically closed valued fields (Fpn(t)alg)nN(\mathbb{F}_{p^n}(t)^{alg})_{n\in \mathbb{N}}, of fixed characteristic p>0p>0, each equipped with the morphism xxpnx\mapsto x^{p^n} and with the tt-adic valuation.
