The theory DCF A exists for p > 0
We prove that the elementary class of differential-difference fields in characteristic <i>p</i> > 0 admits a model companion. In the terminology of Chatzidakis–Pillay [4], this establishes that the class of differentially closed fields of characteristic p, equipped with a generic differential automorphism, is elementary; that is, DCF<sub>p</sub>A exists. Along the way, we also provide alternative first-order axiomatisations for DCF (differentially closed fields) and for DCF<sub>0</sub>A.
