Hilbert's fourteenth problem and field modifications

A Resolution to Hilberts First Problem

The continuum hypothesis (CH) is one of and if not the most important open problems in set theory, one that is important for both mathematical and philosophical reasons. The general problem is determining whether there is an infinite set of real numbers that cannot be put into one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers or be put into one-to-one correspondence with the real numbers respe...

Counterexamples to the Fourteenth Problem of Hilbert

Let K be a field, K[X] = K[X1, . . . , Xn] the polynomial ring in n variables over K for some n ∈ N, and K(X) the field of fractions of K[X]. Assume that L is a subfield of K(X) containing K. Then, the Fourteenth Problem of Hilbert asks whether the Ksubalgebra L ∩K[X] of K[X] is finitely generated. Zariski [17] showed in 1954 that the answer to this problem is affirmative if the transcendence d...

Surface Modifications by Field Induced Diffusion

By applying a voltage pulse to a scanning tunneling microscope tip the surface under the tip will be modified. We have in this paper taken a closer look at the model of electric field induced surface diffusion of adatoms including the van der Waals force as a contribution in formations of a mound on a surface. The dipole moment of an adatom is the sum of the surface induced dipole moment (which...
