โฆ Synopsis
It is shown that the theory of fields with an automorphism has a decidable model companion.
Quantifier-elimination
is established in a natural language. The theory is intimately connected (via fixed fields) to Ax's theory of pseudofinite fields, and analogues are obtained for most of Ax's classical results. Some indication is given of the connection to nonstandard Frobenius maps.

We recall from [l] that medial fields can exist in certain models of ZERMELO-FR~ESKEL set theory, and that if F is a medial field, then .F can be represented as the direct limit of a strictly increasing m-sequence (9n)lL<w of finite subfields. If we let 11 be the (necessarily nonzero) characteristic
