Perfectoid $C_i$ transfer

Abstract

We prove a perfectoid analogue of the Ax-Kochen theorem on zeros of $p$-adic forms: Given $d\in \mathbb{N}$, there is a finite totally ramified extension $E/\mathbb{Q}_p$ such that every untilt of $\mathbb{F}_p(\!(t^{1/p^{\infty}})\!)$ containing $E$ is $C_2(d)$. We also prove a similar result for the existence of rational points in rationally connected varieties over perfectoid field extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p^{ur}$.
