Differential Galois Theory
The goal of Differential Galois Theory is to study differential equations
by algebraic means. We would like to have methods, mimicking the
ones from classical Galois theory, to evaluate if the integral of a given
function (or the solution of a differential equation) can be expressed in
terms of “elementary functions”.

Differential Algebra
Definition
Let R be an arbitrary (commutative) ring. A derivation on R is an
additive function ∂ : R → R such that ∂(xy ) = x∂(y ) + y ∂(x) for any
x, y ∈ R. A ring (field) R equipped with a derivation ∂ is what we call a
differential ring (field). By the constants of R, denoted CR , we mean
the set of elements in R where ∂ vanish.
Remark
Notions of ideals (prime, maximal), localizations, &c. can be defined
and developed.

Classic Galois Theory (Ch. 0)
Let us recall the way (algebraic) Galois theory works. Take, for
convenience, a polynomial P(X ) ∈ F [X ] of degree n with no repeated
roots.
The idea is to associate to this polynomial a certain (finite) group and
extract properties about the solution of the polynomial from the
structural properties of the group.

Since S contains i6=j (Xi − Xj ) then the images of Xi in K are
distinct roots of P.
K is unique up to isomorphism and we have Galois

We can prove, for instance, that a P is solvable by radicals if G is
a solvable group.

Linear differential Galois theory (Picard-Vessiot)
Let y 0 = Ay be a linear differential equation of order n (= dim(A)) with
coefficients in F , a differential field with CF algebraically closed.
Easy Fact
The set of solutions of this equation in L > F an extension of F is a
CF -vector space of dimension at most n.
We would like to obtain a corresponding splitting field for this equation

Galois correspondence
There is a correspondence between Zariski-closed subgroups H ⊂ G
and intermediate differential subfields between F and K .
Solutions of differential equations (One example)
If G is a solvable group then the corresponding equation can be solved
by a finite sequence of field extensions F = F0 < F1 · · · < Fl = K such
that Fi+1 = Fi (ti ) where either

Model Theory, anywhere?
(Robinson, 1950’s!) There is a model companion of the theory of
differential fields (ch. 0): Differentially Closed Fields (a.k.a. DCF0 .)
DCF0 is stable (it is actually totally transcendental (Blum)). It has
QE and elimination of imaginaries. Also, dcl(A) = hAi.
By stability, the field of constants is a pure algebraically closed
field.

Internality and definable automorphism groups
In the early 80’s, Hrushovski and Zilber isolated conditions to
guarantee that certain automorphism groups were definable (this, in
essence, makes them visible to model theory).
Internality
Consider p and q possibly partial types over A. We say that p is
q-internal (over A) if there is a set B containing A such that, for every
realization a of p, there is a tuple b of realizations of q such that
a ∈ dcl(Bb).
Fundamental system of solutions
Given p q-internal, we say that a tuple a of realizations of p is a
fundamental system of solutions of p relative to q if there exists u(·, ·),
an A-definable function, such that for any b realizing p, we have that
b = u(a, c) for some tuple c of realisations of q. (Conditions?)

Model theory pays back its debts
Iterative differential fields are well behaved
The theory of iterative differential fields of characteristic p has a stable,
non superstable model companion, SCHp , with elimination of
imaginaries and quantifier elimination.
Actually
SCHp is just another presentation of the theory of separably closed
fields of characteristic p and imperfection degree 1 (SCFp,1 ).
(Remember Soha Sin’s talk on tuesday!)
Precedent
Pillay (2002), following Hrushovski, found a presentation of linear
iterative differential Galois theory using the model theory of SCHp .

Iterative strongly normal extensions
Let U be a large and highly saturated model of SCHp and let C = CU .
Iterative Strongly Normal Extensions
Let (F , D) < (K , D) an extension of definably closed ID-fields. We say
that K /F is a iterative strongly normal extension if:
1
CF = CK and CF is algebraically closed.
2
K = dcl(Fa) (=Closing Fa under derivations and then under pth
roots).
3
For any σ : K ,→ U embedding over F , σ(K ) ⊆ K hCi
4
acl(F ) ∩ K = dcl(Fd) for some d = (d1 , · · · , dm ).

A good Galois Group and a Galois correspondence
Some results
If K /F is iterative strongly normal with dcl(Fa) = K , then
1
Gal(K /F ) is isomorphic to the CF -rational points of G, an
algebraic group defined over CF , and
2
There is a Galois correspondence between algebraic subgroups
of G(CF ) and definably closed ID-subfields of K which contain F .
3
There are equations associated to these extensions: iterative
logarithmic differential equations.

But wait, there is more!
Generalised strongly normal theory: What if we substitute the
constants by an arbitrary formula? (Explored in characteristic zero
by Pillay, Marker, Süer, &c.) The Galois group is finite-dimensional
differential definable. (Ch. p?)
Difference Galois theory: Automorphisms instead of
derivatives? (Kameski (“partial automorphism” (preserving an
almost arbitrary set of formulas), Singer, Chatzidakis, &c.)

p-adic numbers. (|a| = p−vp (a) )
Consider Cp (z) with | · |Gauss , the Gauss norm, defined by

Denote by F the completion of Cp (z) with respect to the Gauss
