Constructive Quantifier Elimination with a Focus on Matrix Rings

Logic 2025-03-25 v1 Rings and Algebras

Abstract

We give a sufficient condition for a model theoretic structure BB to 'inherit' quantifier elimination from another structure AA. This yields an alternative proof of one of the main result from \cite{kle}, namely quantifier elimination for certain matrix rings. The original proof uses model theory, and while it is very elegant and insightful, the proof we propose is much shorter and provides a constructive algorithm.
