Abstract

The theory of valued D-fields provides an interesting setting for the study of difference and differential Galois groups. The extra structure provided by the valuation can be used to relate groups arising from these two types of equations; however, these groups are not always what one might expect. I will talk about the some of the advantages and limitations of working in this particular theory, and look at a few specific equations.
