Title:  Generic multiplicative endomorphism of a field

Abstract:  In this talk, I will introduce the theory of generic multiplicative endomorphism of a field, by which I mean the model-companion of the theory of fields expanded by a multiplicative endomorphism, we call it ACFH. I will discuss the basic properties of this theory as well as analogies and differences between ACFH and the theory ACFA of generic difference fields. A famous result of Hrushovski states that the ultra-product of Frobenius fields gives a model of ACFA. What would be an analogous problem for ACFH?
