Abstract
Julia Robinson has given a first-order definition of the rational integers in the rational numbers by a formula where the -quantifiers run over a total of 8 variables, and where F is a polynomial. We show that for a large class of number fields, not including , for every , there exists a set of primes of natural density exceeding , such that can be defined as a subset of the ``large'' subring of K by a formula of the form where there is only one -quantifier, and where F is a polynomial.
