Abstract:
We prove that if is an algebraic -group (in the sense of Buium over a differentially closed field of characteristic , then the first order structure consisting of together with the algebraic -subvarieties of , has quantifier-elimination. In other words, the projection on of a -constructible subset of is -constructible. Among the consequences is that any finite-dimensional differential algebraic group is interpretable in an algebraically closed field.
