Building on work of J. Robinson and A. Shlapentokh, we develop a general framework to obtain definability and decidability results of large classes of infinite algebraic extensions of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$. As an application, we show that for…
A field $K$ in a ring language $\mathcal{L}$ is finitely undecidable if $\mbox{Cons}(\Sigma)$ is undecidable for every nonempty finite $\Sigma \subseteq \mbox{Th}(K; \mathcal{L})$. We adapt arguments originating with Cherlin-van den…
In 1987, Pheidas showed that the field of Laurent series $\mathbb{F}_q((t))$ with a constant for the indeterminate $t$ and a predicate for the natural powers $\{t^n \mid n > 0\}$ of $t$ is existentially undecidable. We show that the same…
We prove a relative decidability result for perfectoid fields. This applies to show that the fields $\mathbb{Q}_p(p^{1/p^{\infty}})$ and $\mathbb{Q}_p(\zeta_{p^{\infty}})$ are (existentially) decidable relative to the perfect hull of $…
We produce new examples of totally imaginary infinite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ which have undecidable first-order theory by generalizing the methods used by Martinez-Ranero, Utreras and Videla for $\mathbb{Q}^{(2)}$. In particular, we use…
A field $K$ in a ring language $\mathcal{L}$ is finitely undecidable if $\mbox{Cons}(\Sigma)$ is undecidable for every nonempty finite $\Sigma \subseteq \mbox{Th}(K; \mathcal{L})$. We extend a construction of Ziegler and (among other…
We prove that the first-order theory of any function field K of characteristic p>2 is undecidable in the language of rings without parameters. When K is a function field in one variable whose constant field is algebraic over a finite field,…
Let $p$ be a prime and let $\mathbb{Q}_p$ be the field of $p$-adic numbers. It is known that the finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of a given degree are finite up to isomorphism. Given a cubic field extension $L$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$…
Let $p$ be a prime. For $p=2$, the fields of values of the complex irreducible characters of finite groups whose degrees are not divisible by $p$ have been classified; for odd primes $p$, a conjectural classification has been proposed. In…
We prove that an infinite field interpretable in a $p$-adically closed field $K$ is definably isomorphic to a finite extension of $K$. The result remains true in any $P$-minimal field where definable functions are generically…
We prove, assuming resolution of singularities in positive characteristic, an analogue of Siegel's theorem on sum of squares in positive characteristic. The method of proof combines techniques from central simple algebras with model theory…
The first-order theory of addition over the natural numbers, known as Presburger arithmetic, is decidable in double exponential time. Adding an uninterpreted unary predicate to the language leads to an undecidable theory. We sharpen the…
In this paper we address the decision problem for a fragment of set theory with restricted quantification which extends the language studied in [4] with pair related quantifiers and constructs, in view of possible applications in the field…
Let $\widetilde{\mathbb{Q}_p}$ be the field of $p$-adic numbers in the language of rings. In this paper we consider the theory of $\widetilde{\mathbb{Q}_p}$ expanded by two predicates interpreted by multiplicative subgroups…
In this note we give a negative answer to Abraham Robinson's question whether a finitely generated extension of an undecidable field is always undecidable. We construct 'natural' undecidable fields of transcendence degree 1 over Q all of…
We prove undecidability for every positive relevant logic extending the system axiomatized by hypothetical syllogism, prefixing, and suffixing and contained in the logic of the semilattice frame $(P_{\mathrm{fin}}(\mathbb{N}), \cup,…
All known structural extensions of the substructural logic $\mathsf{FL_e}$, Full Lambek calculus with exchange/commutativity, (corresponding to subvarieties of commutative residuated lattices axiomatized by $\{\vee, \cdot, 1\}$-equations)…
We show that the problem `whether a finite set of regular-linear axioms defines a rigid theory' is undecidable.
It is undecidable whether the language recognized by a probabilistic finite automaton is empty. Several other undecidability results, in particular regarding problems about matrix products, are based on this important theorem. We present…
Recently it was shown that it is undecidable whether a term rewrite system can be proved terminating by a polynomial interpretation in the natural numbers. In this paper we show that this is also the case when restricting the…
