Abstract:

We prove that any infinite group interpretable in a separably closed field F of finite Eršov-invariant is definably isomorphic to an F-algebraic group. Using this result we show that any infinite field K interpretable in a separably closed field F is itself separably closed; in particular, in the finite invariant case K is definably isomorphic to a finite extension of F.
