It is an old problem in the area of Diophantine definability to determine whether $\mathbb{Q}$ is Diophantine in $\mathbb{Q}(z)$. We provide a positive answer conditional on two standard conjectures on elliptic surfaces.

A $\widetilde{Q}-$representation of real numbers is introduced as a generalization of the $p-$adic and $Q-$representations. It is shown that the $\widetilde{Q}-$representation may be used as a convenient tool for the construction and study…

We solve the Diophantine equations $x^5 + y^5 = dz^p$ with $d=2, 3$ for a set of prime numbers of density 1/4, 1/2, respectively. The method consists in relating a possible solution to another Diophantine equation and solving the later by…
