Proof. The intersection P of all subfields of F is a field by Exercise 1.4. Consider the ring homomorphism φ : Z → F given by φ(n) = n · 1. Since any subfield contains 1 and is closed under addition, imφ is contained in P . If Char F = p 6= 0 then imφ is isomorphic to Z/pZ = Fp. Since this is a field, we have P = imφ ∼= Fp. If Char F = 0 then φ is injective. Define φ̂ : Q → F by φ̂(m/n) = φ(m)/φ(...

We introduce the notion of a lovely pair of models of a simple theory T , generalizing Poizat’s “belles paires” of models of a stable theory and the third author’s “generic pairs” of models of an SU -rank 1 theory. We characterise when a saturated model of the theory TP of lovely pairs is a lovely pair (that is when the notion of a lovely pair is “axiomatizable”), finding an analogue of the non...
