Hilbert's Tenth Problem for function fields of varieties over C

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Let K be the function field of a variety of dimension at least 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Then Hilbert's Tenth Problem for K is undecidable. This generalizes the result by Kim and Roush from 1992 that Hilbert's Tenth Problem for the purely transcendental function field C(t_1,t_2) is undecidable.
