In the mid-90’s, generalising a theorem of Jouanolou, Hrushovski proved that if a D-variety over the constant field C has no non-constant D-rational functions to C, then it has only finitely many D-subvarieties of codimension one. This theorem has analogues in other geometric contexts where model theory plays a role: in complex analytic geometry where it is an old theorem of Krasnov, in algebraic dynamics where it is a theorem of Bell-Rogalski-Sierra, and in meromorphic dynamics where it is a theorem of Cantat. I will report on work-in-progress with Jason Bell and Adam Topaz toward generalising and unifying these statements.
