Among other results we prove the following. The big subring definability and undecidability results previously shown by the author to hold over totally complex extensions of degree 2 of totally real number fields, are shown to hold for {\\it all} extensions of degree 2 of totally real number fields. The definability and undecidability results for integral closures of ``small'' and ``big'' subrings of number fields in the infinite algebraic extensions of $\\mathbb Q$, previously shown by the author to hold for totally real fields, are extended to a large class of extensions of degree 2 of totally real fields. This class includes infinite cyclotomics and abelian extensions with finitely many ramified rational primes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-06-15T15:38:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11U05", "03D35" ], "keywords": [ "totally real fields", "diophantine definability", "totally real number fields", "undecidability results", "infinite algebraic extensions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......6368S" } } }
