Monotone $T$-convex $T$-differential fields

Elliot Kaplan, Nigel Pynn-Coates

Abstract

Let $T$ be a complete, model complete o-minimal theory extending the theory of real closed ordered fields and assume that $T$ is power bounded. Let $K$ be a model of $T$ equipped with a $T$-convex valuation ring $\mathcal{O}$ and a $T$-derivation $\partial$ such that $\partial$ is monotone, i.e., weakly contractive with respect to the valuation induced by $\mathcal{O}$. We show that the theory of monotone $T$-convex $T$-differential fields, i.e., the common theory of such $K$, has a model completion, which is complete and distal. Among the axioms of this model completion, we isolate an analogue of henselianity that we call $T^{\partial}$-henselianity. We establish an Ax--Kochen/Ershov theorem and further results for monotone $T$-convex $T$-differential fields that are $T^{\partial}$-henselian.

Monotone $T$-convex $T$-differential fields

Abstract

Let be a complete, model complete o-minimal theory extending the theory of real closed ordered fields and assume that is power bounded. Let be a model of equipped with a -convex valuation ring and a -derivation such that is monotone, i.e., weakly contractive with respect to the valuation induced by . We show that the theory of monotone -convex -differential fields, i.e., the common theory of such , has a model completion, which is complete and distal. Among the axioms of this model completion, we isolate an analogue of henselianity that we call -henselianity. We establish an Ax--Kochen/Ershov theorem and further results for monotone -convex -differential fields that are -henselian.

Key Result

Theorem 1

The theory of monotone $T$-convex $T$-differential fields has a model completion. This model completion is complete and distal (in particular, it has NIP).
