Abstract
Pseudo algebraically closed, pseudo real closed, and pseudo
-adically
closed fields are examples of unstable fields that share many similarities, but have mostly
been studied separately. We propose a unified framework for studying them: the class of
pseudo
-closed
fields, where
is an enriched theory of fields. These fields verify a “local-global”
principle for the existence of points on varieties with respect to models of
.
This approach also enables a good description of some fields equipped with multiple
-topologies,
particularly pseudo algebraically closed fields with a finite number of valuations.
One important result is a (model theoretic) classification result for bounded pseudo
-closed
fields, in particular we show that under specific hypotheses on
, these fields are
NTP of finite burden.
