In [3, 4] Törnquist and Weiss proved many natural Σ2 definable counterparts of classical equivalences to the Continuum Hypothesis (CH). These become equivalent to “all reals are constructible”. Following this scheme, we proved definable counterparts for some algebraic equivalent form of CH. More specifically we obtained a Σ2 version of a result about avoidable polynomials proven by Schmerl [2]....
