Finite-rank conjecture for grouplike types in ACFA
Finite-rank conjecture for grouplike types in ACFA
Let be the language of fields with a -action, let be its reduct containing the action of , and let be an -type with reduct to . A type is grouplike when it is nonorthogonal to a generic type of a minimal modular group, and rank is measured in the corresponding theory.
Finite-rank conjecture. Suppose that is minimal in the sense of and ACFA. If is grouplike in the sense of and ACFA, then has finite rank in the sense of ACFA.
This concerns whether passage from the ACFA reduct to the full theory with a rational action can cause the rank of a grouplike type to become infinite. The surrounding discussion gives examples where rank can increase, but presents finite rank as the expected general bound.
