Abstract
We resolve the Elementary Equivalence versus Isomorphism Problem for finitely generated fields. That is, we show that for every field in this class there is an explicit first-order sentence which characterizes this field within the class up to isomorphism. Our solution is conditional on resolution of singularities in characteristic two and unconditional in all other characteristics.
期刊介绍:
The Annals of Mathematics is published bimonthly by the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University with the cooperation of the Institute for Advanced Study. Founded in 1884 by Ormond Stone of the University of Virginia, the journal was transferred in 1899 to Harvard University, and in 1911 to Princeton University. Since 1933, the Annals has been edited jointly by Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study.
