Project description

Hilbert's Tenth Problem is about (un)decibability of diophantine equations. One of the field we study are function fields over valued fields in characteristic 0. Under certain conditions on the valuation and the Galois cohomology we can prove undecidability. We also investigate whether diophantine sets are recursively enumerable for certain polynomial rings, for example over a number field.
