Fields as algebraic objects. For vector and tensor fields, use eg. [dg.differential-geometry]. For physical fields, use eg. [mp.mathematical-physics] or [quantum-field-theory].

If a field extension gives affine space, was it already affine space?

First, since the OP is interested in Bruhat cells in flag varieties over nonsplit groups (over perfect fields), I think the question is probably unnecessary. … So, I doubt that twists of affine spaces have any place in studying Bruhat cells for nonsplit groups reductive groups over perfect fields. …

Are there as many real-closed fields of a given cardinality as I think there are?

I believe that Shelah's theorem, from his 1971 paper "The number of non-isomorphic models of an unstable first-order theory" (Israel J. of Math) answers your question about real closed fields in the positive … To answer the question on real closed fields specifically (and somewhat cautiously since I'm not a model-theorist): The theory of real closed fields is a complete first order theory, with countable language …
