For example we discuss to what extent the theory of a field k determines the universal-existential theories of the rational function field over k and of the field of Laurent series over k, and we find various many-one reductions between such fragments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-05-21T13:23:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C60", "12L05", "12L12", "12J20", "14H05" ], "keywords": [ "universal-existential theories", "equicharacteristic henselian valued fields", "rational function field", "universal-existential fragments", "first-order theories" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
