This paper explores multiple closely related themes: bounding the complexity of Diophantine equations over the integers and developing mathematical proofs in parallel with formal theorem provers. Hilbert's Tenth Problem (H10) asks about the…

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…

We show that for any quadratic extension of number fields $K/F$, there exists an abelian variety $A/F$ of positive rank whose rank does not grow upon base change to $K$. This result implies that Hilbert's tenth problem over the ring of…

A negative solution to Hilbert's tenth problem for the ring of integers $O_F$ of a number field $F$ would follow if $\mathbb{Z}$ were Diophantine in $O_F$. Denef and Lipshitz conjectured that the latter occurs for every number field $F$. In…

In this paper we first review the history of Hilbert's Tenth Problem, and then study mixed quantifier prefixes over Diophantine equations with integer variables. For example, we prove that $\forall^2\exists^4$ over $\mathbb Z$ is…

This paper initiates a novel research direction in the theory of Diophantine equations: define an appropriate version of the equation's size, order all polynomial Diophantine equations starting from the smallest ones, and then solve the…

We prove, for stably computably enumerable formal systems, direct analogues of the first and second incompleteness theorems of G\"odel. A typical stably computably enumerable set is the set of Diophantine equations with no integer…

We formulate a property $P$ on a class of relations on the natural numbers, and formulate a general theorem on $P$, from which we get as corollaries the insolvability of Hilbert's tenth problem, G\"odel's incompleteness theorem, and…

In 2016 J. Koenigsmann refined a celebrated theorem of J. Robinson by proving that $\mathbb Q\setminus\mathbb Z$ is diophantine over $\mathbb Q$, i.e., there is a polynomial $P(t,x_1,\ldots,x_{n})\in\mathbb Z[t,x_1,\ldots,x_{n}]$ such that…

The recent negative answer to Hilbert's tenth problem over rings of integers relies on a theorem that for every extension of number fields $L/K$, if there is an abelian variety $A$ over $K$ such that $0 < \operatorname{rank} A(K) =…

In this paper we complete B\"{u}chi's proof that there is no decision algorithm for the solubility in integers of arbitrary systems of diagonal quadratic form equations, by proving the assertion that whenever $x_1^2, \cdots, x_5^2$ are five…

We consider a variety of Euler's conjecture, i.e., whether the Diophantine system \[\begin{cases} n=a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{s-1}, a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{s-1}(a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{s-1})=b^{s} \end{cases}\] has solutions…

Julia Robinson has given a first-order definition of the rational integers Z in the rational numbers Q by a formula (\forall \exists \forall \exists)(F=0) where the \forall-quantifiers run over a total of 8 variables, and where F is a…

We give the first examples of infinite sets of primes S such that Hilbert's Tenth Problem over Z[S^{-1}] has a negative answer. In fact, we can take S to be a density 1 set of primes. We show also that for some such S there is a punctured…

We prove that Hilbert's Tenth Problem for a ring of integers in a number field K has a negative answer if K satisfies two arithmetical conditions (existence of a so-called division-ample set of integers and of an elliptic curve of rank one…

We prove that the sets $\{n \in N: n$ satisfies formula (1)$\}$ and $\{n \in N: n$ does not satisfy formula (2)$\}$ are not recursively enumerable. We prove that these sets are co-recursively enumerable. $(1)~\exists p,q \in…

Let E_n={x_i=1, x_i+x_j=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}}. For a positive integer n, let f(n) denote the greatest finite total number of solutions of a subsystem of E_n in integers x_1,...,x_n. We prove: (1) the function f is…

We answer a question of Samir Siksek, asked at the open problems session of the conference ``Rational Points 2022'', which, in a broader sense, can be viewed as a reverse engineering of Diophantine equations. For any finite set $S$ of…

Let R be a recursive subring of a number field. We show that recursively enumerable sets are diophantine for the polynomial ring R[Z].

We investigate the computational problem of determining whether a bivariate polynomial with non-negative coefficients and no constant term can attain a prime value. While classical conjectures such as Bouniakowsky's provide necessary…
