A Categorical Approach to Picard-vessiot Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Picard-Vessiot rings are present in many settings like differential Galois theory, difference Galois theory and Galois theory of Artinian simple module algebras. In this article we set up an abstract framework in which we can prove theorems on existence and uniqueness of Picard-Vessiot rings, as well as on Galois groups corresponding to the Picard-Vessiot rings. As the present approach restricts to the categorical properties which all the categories of differential modules resp. difference modules etc. share, it gives unified proofs for all these Galois theories (and maybe more general ones).

A Functorial Approach for Dynamical Systems over Galois Differential Algebras: Integrability and Picard-vessiot Theory
A categorical theory for the discretization of a large class of dynamical systems with variable coefficients is proposed. It is based on the existence of covariant functors between the Rota category of Galois differential algebras and suitable categories of abstract dynamical systems. The integrable maps obtained share with their continuous counterparts a large class of solutions and, in the li...
متن کاملOn a Discrepancy among Picard-vessiot Theories in Positive Characteristics
There is a serious discrepancy among literature on the Picard-Vessiot theory in positive characteristics (for iterative differential fields). We consider descriptions of Galois correspondence in four approaches to this subject: Okugawa’s result [7], Takeuchi’s Hopf algebraic approach [11] (and [3]), the result of Matzat and van der Put [6], and the model theoretic approach by Pillay [8]. In the...
متن کاملNotes on Difference Equations
We shall develop here a galois theory for difference equations. In the PicardVessiot galois theory for differential equations, the basic objects of study are the Picard-Vessiot extension of a field and its associated galois group. Recall that a Picard-Vessiot extension of a differential field k is an extension K generated by a fundamental set of solutions of a linear differential equation and h...
متن کاملThe Differential Azumaya Algebras and Non-commutative Picard–Vessiot Cocycles
A differential Azumaya algebra, and in particular a differential matrix algebra, over a differential field K with constants C is trivialized by a Picard–Vessiot (differential Galois) extension E. This yields a bijection between isomorphism classes of differential algebras and Picard–Vessiot cocycles Z(G(E/K), PGLn(C)) which cobound in Z (G(E/K), PGLn(E)).
متن کاملGalois Theory for Iterative Connections and Nonreduced Galois Groups
This article presents a theory of modules with iterative connection. This theory is a generalisation of the theory of modules with connection in characteristic zero to modules over rings of arbitrary characteristic. We show that these modules with iterative connection (and also the modules with integrable iterative connection) form a Tannakian category, assuming some nice properties for the und...
