Generic automorphisms of fields (Q1377642): Difference between revisions

It is shown that the theory of fields with an automorphism has a decidable model companion. In this paper, quantifier-elimination is established in a natural language. The theory is intimately connected (via fixed fields) to Ax's theory of pseudofinite fields and analogues are obtained for most of Ax's classical results. Some indication is given of the connection to nonstandard Frobenius maps.
