Abstract:
In this talk, we will present a method for computing the Galois groups of linear difference equations with coefficients in $C(x)$ where $C$ is a field finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$. This method can be considered as a difference analogue of Hrushovski's algorithm for linear differential equations.
