Generalized Picard-Vessiot extensions and differential Galois cohomology (Q2183747): Difference between revisions

Let \(F\) be an ordinary differential field of charecteristic 0.The second author prowed that the following two conditions are equivalent: (1) \(F\) is algebraically closed and has no proper Picard-Vessiot extensions; (2) \(H_\delta^1(F/G)=\{ 1\}\) for every linear differential algebraic group \(G\) over \(F\). This paper is devoted to the study of the possibility of extending this result to the case of a partial differential field \(F\) and generalizing the concept of Picard-Vessiot extension for \(F\). The authors show by examples that a direct generalizing of the result is impossible. It turns out that definable subgroups of the additive group present the only obstruction to that.
