On Ø-definable elements in a field

Apoloniusz Tyszka (2007)

Collectanea Mathematica

We develop an arithmetic characterization of elements in a field which are first-order definable by a parameter-free existential formula in the language of rings. As applications we show that in fields containing any algebraically closed field only the elements of the prime field are existentially ∅-definable. On the other hand, many finitely generated extensins of Q contain existentially ∅-definable elements which are transcendental over Q. Finally, we show that all transcendental elements in...

Properties of extensions of algebraically maximal fields.

G. Leloup (2003)

Collectanea Mathematica

We prove some properties similar to the theorem Ax-Kochen-Ershov, in some cases of pairs of algebraically maximal fields of residue characteristic p > 0. This properties hold in particular for pairs of Kaplansky fields of equal characteristic, formally p-adic fields and finitely ramified fields. From that we derive results about decidability of such extensions.

Real closed exponential fields

Paola D'Aquino, Julia F. Knight, Salma Kuhlmann, Karen Lange (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Ressayre considered real closed exponential fields and “exponential” integer parts, i.e., integer parts that respect the exponential function. In 1993, he outlined a proof that every real closed exponential field has an exponential integer part. In the present paper, we give a detailed account of Ressayre’s construction and then analyze the complexity. Ressayre’s construction is canonical once we fix the real closed exponential field R, a residue field section k, and a well ordering ≺ on R. The...

Schanuel Nullstellensatz for Zilber fields

Paola D'Aquino, Angus Macintyre, Giuseppina Terzo (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We characterize the unsolvable exponential polynomials over the exponential fields introduced by Zilber, and deduce Picard's Little Theorem for such fields.
