Abstract

We prove that for almost allσG ℚ the field\(\tilde{\mathbb{Q}}\) has the following property: For each absolutely irreducible affine varietyV of dimensionr and each dominating separable rational mapϕ:V\(\tilde{\mathbb{Q}}\) there exists a point a ∈\(\mathbb{A}\) such thatϕ(a) ∈ ℤr. We then say that\(\tilde{\mathbb{Q}}\) is PAC over ℤ. This is a stronger property then being PAC. Indeed we show that beside the fields\(\tilde{\mathbb{Q}}\) other fields which are algebraic over ℤ and are known in the literature to be PAC are not PAC over ℤ.
