The theory DCF$_p$A exists for $p>0$

We prove that the (elementary) class of differential-difference fields in characteristic $p>0$ admits a model-companion. In the terminology of Chatzidakis-Pillay, this says that the class of differentially closed fields of characteristic $p$ equipped with a generic differential-automorphism is elementary; i.e., DCF$_p$A exists. Along the way, we provide alternative first-order axiomatisations for DCF (differentially closed fields) and also for DCF$_0$A.

Separably differentially closed fields

We introduce and study a new class of differential fields in positive characteristic. We call them separably differentially closed fields and demonstrate that they are the differential analogue of separably closed fields. We prove several (algebraic and model-theoretic) properties of this class. Among other things, we show that it is an elementary class, whose theory we denote $\SDCF$, and that its completions are determined by specifying the characteristic $p$ and the differential degree of imperfection $\epsilon$. Furthermore, after adding what we call the differential $\lambda$-functions, we prove that the theory $\SDCFl$ admits quantifier elimination, is stable, and prime model extensions exist.
