This recalls standard definitions in the representation theory of associative algebras. The main result of this paper is that a representation embedding in the general sense preserves undecidability of theories. This result is applied to obtain an affirmative resolution of a reformulation in cartesian logic of a conjecture of M. Prest that every wild algebra over an algebraically closed field has an undecidable theory of modules.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-08T00:45:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "representation embedding", "cartesian theories", "general sense preserves undecidability", "recalls standard definitions", "wild algebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
