Uniform Definability and Undecidability in Classes of Structures

Logic 2010-12-07 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

We present a concept of uniform encodability of theories and develop tools related to this concept. As an application we obtain general undecidability results which are uniform for large families of structures. In the way, we define uniformly in the characteristic the equivalence relation "xyx\sim y if and only if xx is an iterate of yy throuh the Frobenius map, or vice versa" in large classes of function fields and in polynomial rings.
