چکیده

Using Poonen’s version of “weak vertical method” we produce new examples of “large” and “small” rings of algebraic numbers (including rings of integers) where Z and/or the ring of integers of a subfield are existentially definable and/or where the ring version of Mazur’s conjecture on topology of rational points does not hold.

Rings of Algebraic Numbers in Infinite Extensions of Q and Elliptic Curves Retaining Their Rank

We show that elliptic curves whose Mordell-Weil groups are finitely generated over some infinite extensions of Q, can be used to show the Diophantine undecidability of the rings of integers and bigger rings contained in some infinite extensions of rational numbers.

Diophantine Undecidability in Some Rings of Algebraic Numbers of Totally Real Infinite Extensions of Q

This paper provides the first examples of rings of algebraic numbers containing the rings of algebraic integers of the infinite algebraic extensions of Q, where Hilbert’s Tenth Problem is undecidable.

Hilbert’s Tenth Problem for Function Fields of Characteristic Zero

In this article we outline the methods that are used to prove undecidability of Hilbert’s Tenth Problem for function fields of characteristic zero. Following Denef we show how rank one elliptic curves can be used to prove undecidability for rational function fields over formally real fields. We also sketch the undecidability proofs for function fields of varieties over the complex numbers of di...

Extensions of Hilbert's Tenth Problem

Lectures Two types of lectures were programmed into the schedule. First there were a number of introductory lectures which were were meant to introduce non-specialist into the area of Hilbert’s Tenth Problem. Since quite a few of the participants came from different backgrounds this was an ideal way to get a feeling of the problems which come up in this area of mathematics. The second type of l...

Ranks of Twists of Elliptic Curves and Hilbert’s Tenth Problem

In this paper we investigate the 2-Selmer rank in families of quadratic twists of elliptic curves over arbitrary number fields. We give sufficient conditions on an elliptic curve so that it has twists of arbitrary 2-Selmer rank, and we give lower bounds for the number of twists (with bounded conductor) that have a given 2-Selmer rank. As a consequence, under appropriate hypotheses we can find m...
