Abstract
We prove that the (elementary) class of differential-difference fields in characteristic admits a model-companion. In the terminology of Chatzidakis-Pillay [4], this says that the class of differentially closed fields of characteristic p equipped with a generic differential-automorphism is elementary; i.e., DCFpA exists. Along the way, we provide alternative first-order axiomatisations for DCF (differentially closed fields) and also for DCF0A.
期刊介绍:
The journal Annals of Pure and Applied Logic publishes high quality papers in all areas of mathematical logic as well as applications of logic in mathematics, in theoretical computer science and in other related disciplines. All submissions to the journal should be mathematically correct, well written (preferably in English)and contain relevant new results that are of significant interest to a substantial number of logicians. The journal also considers submissions that are somewhat too long to be published by other journals while being too short to form a separate memoir provided that they are of particular outstanding quality and broad interest. In addition, Annals of Pure and Applied Logic occasionally publishes special issues of selected papers from well-chosen conferences in pure and applied logic.
