maps between Grothendieck ring of different such theories

Definable sets in pseudo-finite fields
Invariants for pseudo-finite fields obtained by counting over finite fields
(in particular: dimension and measure); in a fixed pseudo-finite field and
for the theory of all pseudo-finite fields; maps between different Grothendieck rings
and generalization to theories where counting is not possible.
