Let P be the set of prime numbers, P the union P ∪ {0}, and for any field E, let char(E) be its characteristic, ddim(E) the Diophantine dimension of E, GE the absolute Galois group of E, and cd(GE) the Galois cohomological dimension of GE. This paper proves the existence of quasifinite fields Φq : q ∈ P, with ddim(Φq) infinity and char(Φq) = q, for each q. Also, it shows that for any integer m > 0 and q ∈ P, there is a quasifinite field Φm,q such that char(Φm,q) = q and ddim(Φm,q) = m. This is used for proving that for any q ∈ P and each pair k ∈ N, ℓ ∈ (N ∪ {∞}) satisfying k ≤ ℓ, there exists a perfect field E k,ℓ;q with char(E k,ℓ;q ) = q, ddim(E k,ℓ;q ) = ℓ and cd(GE k,ℓ;q ) = k.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
