The main objective of this paper is the following two results. (1) There exists a computable bi-orderable group that does not have a computable bi-ordering; (2) There exists a bi-orderable, two-generated recursively presented solvable group…
We construct a finitely presented group with undecidable word problem and with Dehn function bounded by a quadratic function on an infinite set of positive integers.
We investigate the satisfiability and finite satisfiability problem for probabilistic computation-tree logic (PCTL) where operators are not restricted by any step bounds. We establish decidability for several fragments containing…
We show that a large class of divisible abelian $\ell$-groups (lattice ordered groups) of continuous functions is interpretable (in a certain sense) in the lattice of the zero sets of these functions. This has various applications to the…
In this work, we prove that any element in the tensor product of separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces can be expressed as a matrix product state (MPS) of possibly infinite bond dimension. The proof is based on the singular value…
We identify a decidable synthesis problem for a class of programs of unbounded size with conditionals and iteration that work over infinite data domains. The programs in our class use uninterpreted functions and relations, and abide by a…
In problems involving the allocation of a single non-disposable commodity, we study rules defined on a general domain of preferences requiring only that each preference exhibit a unique global maximum. Our focus is on rules that satisfy a…
Metric Temporal Logic, $\mtlfull$ is amongst the most studied real-time logics. It exhibits considerable diversity in expressiveness and decidability properties based on the permitted set of modalities and the nature of time interval…
We show that Hilbert's Tenth Problem is undecidable for complementary subrings of number fields and that the p-adic and archimedean ring versions of Mazur's conjectures do not hold in these rings. More specifically, given a number field K,…
Recently, we have shown that satisfiability for $\mathsf{ECTL}^*$ with constraints over $\mathbb{Z}$ is decidable using a new technique. This approach reduces the satisfiability problem of $\mathsf{ECTL}^*$ with constraints over some…
Higher-order unification has been shown to be undecidable. Miller discovered the pattern fragment and subsequently showed that higher-order pattern unification is decidable and has most general unifiers. We extend the algorithm to…
This work explores the tensor and combinatorial constructs underlying the linearised higher-order variational equations of a generic autonomous system along a particular solution. The main result of this paper is a compact yet explicit and…
We prove the decidability for a class of languages which extend BST and NP-completeness for a subclass of them. The languages BST extended with unordered cartesian product, BST extended with ordered cartesian product and BST extended with…
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…
The positive existential theories of the sets $M_n(\mathbb N)$ without parameters build an inclusion lattice isomorhic with the lattice of divisibility. All these sets are algorithmically undecidable. In further sections some easier…
The problem of deciding, given a complex variety X, a point x in X, and a subvariety Z of X, whether there is an automorphism of X mapping x into Z is proved undecidable. Along the way, we prove the undecidability of a version of Hilbert's…
We construct a metrizable Lawson semitopological semilattice $X$ whose partial order $\le_X=\{(x,y)\in X\times X:xy=x\}$ is not closed in $X\times X$. This resolves a problem posed earlier by the authors.
We show that the determinization problem for min-plus (tropical) weighted automata is decidable, thus resolving this long-standing open problem. In doing so, we develop a new toolbox for analyzing and reasoning about the run-structure of…
Let K be a henselian valued field of characteristic 0. Then K admits a definable partition on each piece of which the leading term of a polynomial in one variable can be computed as a definable function of the leading term of a linear map.…
The notion of non-deterministic logical matrix (where connectives are interpreted as multi-functions) preserves many good properties of traditional semantics based on logical matrices (where connectives are interpreted as functions) whilst…
