Abstract The model companion of the theory of fields with valuation and automorphism (of the pure field structure) exists. A counterexample shows that the theory of models of ACFA equipped with valuation is not this model companion.

1 Introduction The question has been of interest for decades: If a model-complete L-theory T is augmented with axioms for an automorphism σ of its models, does the resulting L σ theory Tσ have a model companion? It does have, when T is the theory ACF of algebraically closed fields. The model companion of Tσ in this case is ACFA, studied by Macintyre [1] and Chatzidakis and Hrushovski [2] and others. However, Tσ is not companionable when T is ACFA itself [3]. A result in general model theory, established by Kikyo [4], is that if Tσ is companionable, and T is dependent, then T must also be stable. In particular then, Tσ cannot be companionable when T is the theory ACVF of algebraically closed valued fields in the signature of fields with a predicate for a valuation ring (inducing a non-trivial valuation).

In some cases where T is a model-complete theory of valued fields, Tσ may become companionable when an additional condition is imposed on σ . Note that an automorphism σ of a valued field induces an automorphism σv of the the value group  and an automorphism σ¯ of the residue field. When T is the model companion of the theory of any of the following classes of valued fields, then Tσ becomes companionable under the given condition on σ : (1) isometric valued difference fields, where σv (γ ) = γ for all γ in  [5,6], (2) contractive valued difference fields, where σv (γ ) > nγ for all positive γ in  and n in ω [7], (3) multiplicative valued fields, where σv (γ ) = ργ for all γ in , for a certain constant ρ [8]. Moreover, (4) Tσ ∪ Tv is companionable when T is ACVF and Tv is a companionable theory of ordered abelian groups equipped with an automorphism [9] (in this case (, σv ) | Tv ). The corresponding model companion in each of the four cases satisfies an analogue of Hensel’s lemma for σ -polynomials (see [7, Definition 4.2]). Treating automorphisms and derivations as instances of an operator called D, Scanlon [10] establishes a model-complete theory of fields equipped with D and a valuation having certain interactions.
