Abstract

The class of all Artinian local rings of length at most l is ∀2-elementary, axiomatised by a finite set of axioms τtl. We show that its existentially closed models are Gorenstein. of length exactly l and their residue fields are algebraically closed, and, conversely, every existentially closed model is of this form. The theory oτl of all Artinian local Gorenstein rings of length l with algebraically closed residue field is model complete and the theory τtl is companionable, with model-companion oτl.
