Title: Existential closedness for analytic solutions of difference equations

Abstract: The existential closedness problem for a function f is to show that a system of complex polynomials in 2n variables always has solutions in the graph of f, except when there is some geometric obstruction. Special cases have be proven for exp, Weierstrass p functions, the Klein j function, and other important functions in arithmetic geometry using a variety of techniques. Recently, some special cases have been proven for well-known solutions of difference equations, like the zeta and Gamma functions. I will show how the methods developed for exp can be used to expand on these results.
