Profinite structures interpretable in fields

We investigate profinite structures in the sense of Newelski interpretable in fields. We show that profinite structures interpretable in separably closed fields are the same as profinite structures weakly interpretable in . We also find a strong connection with the inverse Galois problem.We give field theoretic constructions of profinite structures weakly interpretable in and satisfying some model theoretic properties, like smallness, m-normality, non-triviality, being M-rank 1. For example we interpret in this way the profinite structure consisting of the profinite group together with a distinguished Sylow p-subgroup of its standard structural group.
