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 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…

We prove that there is no algorithm to decide whether a given integer vector is in the closure of the entropic cone $\overline{\Gamma_{n}^{*}}$. Equivalently, there is no decision procedure to determine whether a given integer-valued…

Hilbert's Tenth Problem over the field $\mathbb Q$ of rational numbers is one of the biggest open problems in the area of undecidability in number theory. In this paper we construct new, computably presentable subrings $R$ of $\mathbb Q$…

The paper deals with the {\it infinitesimal Hilbert 16th problem}: to find an upper estimate of the number of zeros of an Abelian integral regarded as a function of a parameter. In more details, consider a real polynomial $ H$ of degree $…

We prove that the existential theory of any function field $K$ of characteristic $p> 0$ is undecidable in the language of rings provided that the constant field does not contain the algebraic closure of a finite field. We also extend the…

We study a set of truncated matrices, given by Smith~\cite{Smith2005}, in connection to an identification criterion for the ground state in our proposed quantum adiabatic algorithm for Hilbert's tenth problem. We identify the origin of the…

Given an order, a commutative ring whose additive group is free of finite rank, a natural computational question is whether a fixed univariate polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ has a root in this ring. In this paper, we show that the…

In the literature two notions of the word problem for a variety occur. A variety has a decidable word problem if every finitely presented algebra in the variety has a decidable word problem. It has a uniformly decidable word problem if…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $p$ be an odd prime which splits in $K$. Let $E_1$ and $E_2$ be elliptic curves over $K$ such that the $Gal(\bar{K}/K)$-modules $E_1[p]$ and $E_2[p]$ are isomorphic. We show that under certain…

Profinite algebras are exactly those that are isomorphic to inverse limits of finite algebras. Such algebras are naturally equipped with Boolean topologies. A variety $\mathcal V$ is standard if every Boolean topological algebra with the…

The split common fixed-point problem is an inverse problem that consists in finding an element in a fixed-point set such that its image under a bounded linear operator belongs to another fixed-point set. Recently Censor and Segal proposed…
