Streszczenie
Let $K$ be a type-definable infinite field in an NIP theory. If $K$ has characteristic $p \gt 0$, then $K$ is Artin–Schreier closed (it has no Artin–Schreier extensions). As a consequence, $p$ does not divide the degree of any finite separable extension of $K$. This generalizes a theorem of Kaplan, Scanlon, and Wagner.
