Theory of fields with finite group action
Fix a finite group G. We call a pair (K,(σg)g∈G)
G-transformal field if K is a field and the map
G∋g↦σg∈\aut(K)
is a homomorphism. In \cite{nacfa} we study the model companion, denoted by G−\tcf, of the theory of G-transformal fields.
It turns out that for an existentially closed G-transformal field the invariants of G form a subfield, which is pseudo-algebraically closed in a rather strong sense. This leads to super-simplicity of the theory G−\tcf and to few other nice properties.
Nevertheless, existentially closed G-transformal fields are not separably closed, and therefore G−\tcf differs in an essential way from ACFA. Such difference fields belong to the class of fields with a group scheme action. The model theory of fields with operators coming from group schemes is being currently developed and G−\tcf plays an important role in it.
