Abstract |
|
The differential closure of a given ordinary differential field k is characterized to within (differential) k-isomorphism as a differentially closed (differential) extension field k of k which is k-isomorphic to a subfield of any differentially closed extension field of k. It has been conjectured that, in analogy to the cases of the algebraic closure of a field and the real closure of an ordered field, the differential closure of any differential field k is minimal, that is, not k-isomorphic to a proper subfield of itself. The conjecture is here shown to be false. |
