Motivated by the problem of the existence of bounds on degrees and orders in
checking primality of radical (partial) differential ideals, the nonstandard
methods of van den Dries and Schmidt ["Bounds in the theory of polynomial rings
over fields. A nonstandard approach.", Inventionnes Mathematicae, 76:77--91,
1984] are here extended to differential polynomial rings over differential
fields.
This work provides a unified formalism for studying difference and (Hasse-)
differential algebraic geometry, by introducing a theory of "iterative Hasse
rings and schemes". As an application, Hasse jet spaces are constructed
generally, allowing the development of the theory for arbitrary systems of
algebraic partial difference/differential equations, where constructions by
earlier authors applied only to the finite dimensional case. In particular, it
is shown that under appropriate separability assumptions a Hasse variety is
determined by its jet spaces at a point.
