Abstract

In this paper, we study arbitrary models of the first-order theory of a ring AA where the additive group AA is a finitely generated abelian group. Following an earlier paper by this author, Alexei G. Myasnikov and Francis Oger, we call these rings the FDZ-rings or FDZ-algebras. The rings considered are not necessarily unitary, commutative, or associative. We provide criteria for such rings to be quasi finitely axiomatizable (QFA) or bi-interpretable with the ring of integers Z\mathbb Z. We shall also describe all rings elementarily equivalent to such a ring AA given certain constraints on AA.
