Title: Differential Galois theory with new algebraic constants.

Abstract: A well-known counterexample due to Seidenberg shows that Picard-Vessiot extensions need not exist for arbitrary ordinary homogeneous linear differential equations over arbitrary differential fields. A positive result from Kolchin's school at around the same time (1955-56) shows that inside of a differential closure one can always find a fundamental system of solutions to such an equation over the base field which introduces a Galois extension's worth of new constants. I will give a model theoretic account of the structure of differential field extensions generated by fundamental systems of solutions which introduce a finite (algebraic) extension's worth of new constants, detailing the relationship to the Galois groupoid arising from internality data, and describing a partial Galois correspondence. I will discuss points of contact with Umemura's quasi-automorphic extensions introduced in 1996.
