Axiomatizability of existentially closed globally valued fields
Axiomatizability of existentially closed globally valued fields
Let be a real number. A globally valued field has archimedean error when its archimedean valuation data satisfy the error parameter specified by . A globally valued field is existentially closed if, for every extension of globally valued fields, every quantifier-free formula with parameters , and every bound , an approximate solution in of height at most can be approximated in with height at most for every .
Axiomatizability conjecture. There exists a theory in the language of globally valued fields whose models are exactly the existentially closed globally valued fields of archimedean error .
For ordinary algebraically closed and real closed fields, analogous characterizations are provided by the Nullstellensatz and Positivstellensatz. The corresponding first-order axiomatizability question for globally valued fields is presented as open; the claim concerns whether the existentially closed fields with fixed archimedean error admit such an axiomatization.
