Abstract:
About a year ago Angus Macintyre raised the following question. Let and be complete local noetherian rings with maximal ideals and such that is isomorphic to for every . Does it follow that and are isomorphic? We show that the answer is yes if the residue field is algebraic over its prime field. The proof uses a strong approximation theorem of Pfister and Popescu, or rather a variant of it, which we obtain by a method due to Denef and Lipshitz. Examples by Gabber show that the answer is no in general.
