We point out that a group first order definable in a differentially closed field K of characteristic 0 can be definably equipped with the structure of a differentially algebraic group over K. This is a translation into the framework of differentially closed fields of what is known for groups definable in algebraically closed fields (Weil's theorem).I restrict myself here to showing (Theorem 20) how one can find a large “differentially algebraic group chunk” inside a group defined in a differentially closed field. The rest of the translation (Theorem 21) follows routinely, as in [B].What is, perhaps, of interest is that the proof proceeds at a completely general (soft) model theoretic level, once Facts 1–4 below are known.Fact 1. The theory of differentially closed fields of characteristic 0 is complete and has quantifier elimination in the language of differential fields (+, ·,0,1, −1,d).Fact 2. Affine n-space over a differentially closed field is a Noetherian space when equipped with the differential Zariski topology.Fact 3. If K is a differentially closed field, k ⊆ K a differential field, and a and are in k, then a is in the definable closure of k ◡ iff a ∈ ‹› (where k ‹› denotes the differential field generated by k and).Fact 4. The theory of differentially closed fields of characteristic zero is totally transcendental (in particular, stable).
