A note on diophantine representations
In 1900 David Hilbert asked for an algorithm to decide whether a given diophantine equation is solvable or not and put this problem tenth in his famous list of 23. In 1970 it was proved that such an…
Prime Representing Polynomial
Summary The main purpose of formalization is to prove that the set of prime numbers is diophantine, i.e., is representable by a polynomial formula. We formalize this problem, using the Mizar system…

A Diophantine representation of Wolstenholme's pseudoprimality
TLDR
It is shown that the upper bound for the number of variables in a prime-representing polynomial could be lowered to 8 if the converse of Wolstenholme's theorem (1862) holds, as conjectured by James P. Jones.
Exponential prefixed polynomial equations
A prefixed polynomial equation is an equation of the form $P(t_1,\ldots,t_n) = 0$, where $P$ is a polynomial whose variables $t_1,\ldots,t_n$ range over the natural numbers, preceded by quantifiers…

Gibt es primzahldefinierende Funktionen
Die Untersuchung von Primzahlen wirft die Frage auf, ob es nicht einfach berechenbare Funktionen f(n) gibt, die fur alle naturlichen Zahlen n definiert sind und einige oder alle Primzahlen…
What can and cannot be done with Diophantine problems
This survey presents various theorems (obtained mainly by specialists in mathematical logic and computability theory) stating the impossibility of algorithms for solving certain Diophantine problems.…

Od Fermatových prvočísel ke geometrii
V tomto clanku M. Křižek zkouma výskyt Fermatových cisel v geometrii. Nejprve ve zkratce vysvětluje, co to Fermatova cisla jsou a jaka jsou dnes znama. V dalsi kapitole ukazuje využiti Fermatových…
