Commentary:
“Geometric characterizations of existentially closed fields with operators”
Contents of the paper:- Two new geometric axiomatizations for DCF (arbitrary characteristic) are given.
- One of these generalizes to DCFm.
- The other is parallel to an alternative geometric axiomatization of ACFA.
- The model-companion of the theory of fields with a derivation or an endomorphism can be axiomatized in a uniform way (without distinguishing the two cases).
- The theory of fields with a derivation and an endomorphism is not companionable in positive characteristic.

“Differential forms in the model theory of differential fields”
In this paper, a differential field can be understood as a pair (K,V), where K is a field of characteristic zero, and V is a finite-dimensional space of derivations from K to itself that is closed under the Lie bracket. A first-order structure is determined by choice of a spanning set for V, and the definable sets are independent of this choice. The existentially closed such structures are characterized by a kind of generalization of the Frobenius Theorem of differential geometry. The characterization is first-order; in particular, new axioms for the theory fields of characteristic zero with m commuting derivations can be given.Cited by:

“A Note on the Axioms for Differentially Closed Fields of Characteristic Zero”
