Hilbert's tenth problem over the rational numbers
Claims a negative answer: rational solvability of integer polynomial equations (variables unbounded) is undecidable, of Turing degree , and stays so for total degree at most four. The method reduces integer solvability to finitely many rational-solvability tests per input, using rank-one elliptic curves, a five-point height estimate and a parity condition from 2-descent. It does not define existentia…
