Abstract:

differential version of the classical Weil descent is established in all characteristics. It yields a theory of differential restriction of scalars for differential varieties over finite differential field extensions. This theory is then used to prove that in characteristic 0, differential largeness (a notion introduced here as an analogue to largeness of fields) is preserved under algebraic extensions. This provides many new differential fields with minimal differential closures. A further application is Kolchin-density of rational points in differential algebraic groups defined over differentially large fields.
