Model Theory of Fields with Operators
Abstract: Fields are associated with different kinds of operators,
giving them the structure of difference fields, differential fields
and/or D-fields. Model theorists are interested in studying the
theories of such structures and axiomatizing them. Some of these
results can be generalized to fields with more than one operator.
Similar idea can be extended to valued fields as well, and one can
study valued fields with operators.
In this talk, I am going to give a small survey of nice model complete
theories of fields with different kinds of operators, leading up to
valued fields and my own work on valued difference fields.
Join us for a tea & chat with grads from 2-3pm (location TBA - email lynn@math) we will be hearing some background on valued fields from the speaker.
