We prove a relative decidability result for perfectoid fields. This applies to show that the fields $\mathbb{Q}_p(p^{1/p^{\infty}})$ and $\mathbb{Q}_p(\zeta_{p^{\infty}})$ are (existentially) decidable relative to the perfect hull of $…

We show that satisfiability for CTL* with equality-, order-, and modulo-constraints over Z is decidable. Previously, decidability was only known for certain fragments of CTL*, e.g., the existential and positive fragments and EF.

In this paper, we consider the finite tiling problem which was proved undecidable in the Euclidean plane by Jarkko Kari in 1994. Here, we prove that the same problem for the hyperbolic plane is also undecidable.

We prove that the following problem is decidable: given a finite set of relations, decide whether this set admits a near-unanimity function.

We discuss the question of if and how undecidability might be translatable into physics, in particular with respect to prediction and description, as well as to complementarity games.

The problem of determining whether a probabilistic program terminates almost surely (i.e.~with probability one) is undecidable, and actually $\Pi^0_2$-complete. For this reason, a growing literature has explored classes of programs for…

We prove that one variable equations in the lamplighter group $\MZ_2\wr \MZ$ are decidable and describe an algorithm for solving such equations. The algorithm has super-exponential time complexity in the worst case. We also show that, for…

We consider the decidability and complexity of the Ultimate Positivity Problem, which asks whether all but finitely many terms of a given rational linear recurrence sequence (LRS) are positive. Using lower bounds in Diophantine…

We show that the emptiness (unsatisfiability) problem is undecidable and $\mathrm{\Pi}^{0}_{1}$-complete for deterministic propositional while programs with (graph) loop. To this end, we introduce a hypothesis elimination using loops. Using…

For almost a century, the decidability of the Skolem Problem - that is, the problem of finding whether a given linear recurrence sequence (LRS) has a zero term - has remained open. A breakthrough in the 1980s established that the Skolem…

We show that for any $i > 0$, it is decidable, given a regular language, whether it is expressible in the $\Sigma_i[<]$ fragment of first-order logic FO[<]. This settles a question open since 1971. Our main technical result relies on the…
