Truncation in Hahn Fields is Undecidable and Wild

Logic 2017-06-13 v1

Abstract

We show that in any nontrivial Hahn field with truncation as a primitive operation we can interpret the monadic second-order logic of the additive monoid of natural numbers and are thus undecidable. We also specify a definable binary relation on such a structure that has \SOP\SOP and \TP\TP.
