Inspired by Quantum Mechanics, we reformulate Hilbert's tenth problem in the domain of integer arithmetics into either a problem involving a set of infinitely coupled differential equations or a problem involving a Shr\"odinger propagator…
It is known that Hilbert's Tenth Problem over the Gaussian ring $\mathbb Z[i]=\{a+bi:\ a,b\in\mathbb Z\}$ is undecidable. In this paper we obtain the following further result: There is no algorithm to decide whether an arbitrarily given…

We show that several sets of interest arising from the study of partition regularity and density Ramsey theory of polynomial equations over integral domains are undecidable. In particular, we show that the set of homogeneous polynomials $p…
Let $K$ be a number field and $\ell \geq 5$ a prime number. Mazur and Rubin introduced the notion of diophantine stability for a variety $X_{/K}$ at a prime $\ell$. We show that there is a positive density set of elliptic curves…
The existence of maximal subrings in certain non-commutative rings, especially in rings which are integral over their centers, are investigated. We prove that if a ring $T$ is integral over its center, then either $T$ has a maximal subring…
Descent via an isogeny on an elliptic curve is used to construct two subrings of the field of rational numbers, which are complementary in a strong sense, and for which Hilbert's Tenth Problem is undecidable. This method further develops…
We study systems of polynomial equations in several classes of finitely generated rings and algebras. For each ring $R$ (or algebra) in one of these classes we obtain an interpretation by systems of equations of a ring of integers $O$ of a…
Let D be a division algebra with center F. A maximal subfield of D is defined to be a field K such that CD(K) = K; that is, K is its own centralizer in D. A maximal subfield K is said to be self-invariant if it normalises by itself, i.e.…
We present a universal construction of Diophantine equations with bounded complexity in Isabelle/HOL. This is a formalization of our own work in number theory. Hilbert's Tenth Problem was answered negatively by Yuri Matiyasevich, who showed…
Let $K$ be a number field, let $X$ be a smooth integral variety over $K$, and assume that there exists a finite set of finite places $S$ of $K$ such that the $S$-integral points on $X$ are dense. Then the combined conjectures of Campana and…
We consider a continuous analogue of Babai et al.'s and Cai et al.'s problem of solving multiplicative matrix equations. Given $k+1$ square matrices $A_{1}, \ldots, A_{k}, C$, all of the same dimension, whose entries are real algebraic, we…
We prove an analogue of Hilbert's Tenth Problem for complex meromorphic functions. More precisely, we prove that the set of integers is positive existentially definable in fields of complex meromorphic functions in several variables over…
The analogue of Hilbert's tenth problem over $\mathbb{Q}$ asks for an algorithm to decide the existence of rational points in algebraic varieties over this field. This remains as one of the main open problems in the area of undecidability…
Let $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-q})$, where $q$ is any prime number congruent to $7$ modulo $8$, and let $\mathcal{O}$ be the ring of integers of $K$. The prime $2$ splits in $K$, say $2\mathcal{O} = \mathfrak{p} \mathfrak{p}^\ast$, and there is…
Using an iterated Horner schema for evaluation of diophantine polynomials, we define a partial $\mu$-recursive "decision" algorithm decis as a "race" for a first nullstelle versus a first (internal) proof of non-nullity for such a…
Let $K$ be a quadratic imaginary extension of $\mathbb{Q}$, let $S$ be a finite nonempty set of non archimedean places, and let $\mathcal{O}_{K,S}$ denote the ring of $S$-integers of $K$. We show that there is no algorithm which solves the…
We show that the decidability of an amplification of Hilbert's Tenth Problem in three variables implies the existence of uncomputably large integral points on certain algebraic curves. We obtain this as a corollary of a new positive…
In the context of Hilbert's tenth problem, an outstanding open case is that of complex entire functions in one variable. A negative solution is known for polynomials (by Denef) and for exponential polynomials of finite order (by Chompitaki,…
