Abstract. Brown and Gordon asked whether the Poisson Dixmier-Moeglin equivalence holds for any complex affine Poisson algebra; that is, whether the sets of Poisson rational ideals, Poisson primitive ideals, and Poisson locally closed ideals coincide. In this article a complete answer is given to this question using techniques from differential-algebraic geometry and model theory. In particular, it is shown that while the sets of Poisson rational and Poisson primitive ideals do coincide, in every Krull dimension at least four there are complex affine Poisson algebras with Poisson rational ideals that are not Poisson locally closed. These counterexamples also give rise to counterexamples to the classical (noncommutative) Dixmier-Moeglin equivalence in finite GK dimension. A weaker version of the Poisson Dixmier-Moeglin equivalence is proven for all complex affine Poisson algebras, from which it follows that the full equivalence holds in Krull dimension three or less. Finally, it is shown that everything, except possibly that rationality implies primitivity, can be done over an arbitrary base field of characteristic zero.

A differential-algebraic geometric analogue of the Dixmier-Moeglin equivalence is articulated, and proven to hold for D-groups over the constants. The model theory of differentially closed fields of characteristic zero, in particular the notion of analysability in the constants, plays a central role. As an application it is shown that if R is a commutative affine Hopf algebra over a field of characteristic zero, and A is an Ore extension to which the Hopf algebra structure extends, then A satisfies the classical Dixmier-Moeglin equivalence. Along the way it is shown that all such A are Hopf Ore extensions in the sense of [Brown et al., "Connected Hopf algebras and iterated Ore extensions", Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 219 (6), 2015].

Motivated by the effective bounds found in [12] for ordinary differential equations, we prove an effective version of uniform bounding for fields with several commuting derivations. More precisely, we provide an upper bound for the size of finite solution sets of partial differential polynomial equations in terms of data explicitly given in the equations and independent of parameters. Our methods also produce an upper bound for the degree of the Zariski closure of solution sets, whether they are finite or not.

We prove that the class of partial differential fields of characteristic zero with an automorphism has a model companion. We then establish the basic model theoretic properties of this theory and prove that it satisfies the canonical base property, and consequently the Zilber dichotomy, for finite-dimensional types.

One method to determine whether or not a system of partial differential equations is consistent is to attempt to construct a solution using merely the "algebraic data" associated to the system. In technical terms, this translates to the problem of determining the existence of regular realizations of differential kernels via their possible prolongations. In this paper we effectively compute an improved upper bound for the number of prolongations needed to guarantee the existence of such realizations, which ultimately produces solutions to many types of systems of partial differential equations. This bound has several applications, including an improved upper bound for the order of characteristic sets of prime differential ideals. We obtain our upper bound by proving a new result on the growth of the Hilbert-Samuel function, which may be of independent interest.

Understanding bounds for the effective differential Nullstellensatz is a central problem in differential algebraic geometry. Recently, several bounds have been obtained using Dicksonian and antichains sequences (with a given growth rate). In the present paper, we make these bounds more explicit and, therefore, more applicable to understanding the computational complexity of the problem, which is essential to designing more efficient algorithms.

Assuming that the differential field [Formula: see text] is differentially large, in the sense of [León Sánchez and Tressl, Differentially large fields, preprint (2020); arXiv:2005.00888 ], and “bounded” as a field, we prove that for any linear differential algebraic group [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text], the differential Galois (or constrained) cohomology set [Formula: see text] is finite. This applies, among other things, to closed ordered differential fields in the sense of [Singer, The model theory of ordered differential fields, J. Symb. Logic 43(1) (1978) 82–91], and to closed[Formula: see text]-adic differential fields in the sense of [Tressl, The uniform companion for large differential fields of characteristic [Formula: see text], Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 357(10) (2005) 3933–3951]. As an application, we prove a general existence result for parameterized Picard–Vessiot (PPV) extensions within certain families of fields; if [Formula: see text] is a field with two commuting derivations, and [Formula: see text] is a parameterized linear differential equation over [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is “differentially large” and [Formula: see text] is bounded, and [Formula: see text] is existentially closed in [Formula: see text], then there is a PPV extension [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] for the equation such that [Formula: see text] is existentially closed in [Formula: see text]. For instance, it follows that if the [Formula: see text]-constants of a formally real differential field [Formula: see text] is a closed ordered[Formula: see text]-field, then for any homogeneous linear [Formula: see text]-equation over [Formula: see text] there exists a PPV extension that is formally real. Similar observations apply to [Formula: see text]-adic fields.
