Abstract

We relate the integrability of vector fields, and of the vanishing of $p$-torsion, to model-theoretic questions concerning separably closed fields, endowed canonically with a derivation. While each differential field $(F_p(t)^s,D_p)$ is known to be decidable, we show that the asymptotic theory of these fields as a class is undecidable in a strong sense. This precludes a geometric answer to certain generalizations of the Grothendieck-Katz conjecture.
