The non-Diophantineness conjecture for the integers over the rationals

Let Z\mathbb{Z} denote the ring of integers and Q\mathbb{Q} the field of rational numbers. A subset of Q\mathbb{Q} is Diophantine if it is defined by the existence of solutions to a polynomial equation over Q\mathbb{Q}. The non-Diophantineness conjecture. There is no Diophantine definition of Z\mathbb{Z} over Q\mathbb{Q}. This conjecture would rule out transferring the negative solution of Hilbert's tenth problem over Z\mathbb{Z} by a Diophantine definition of the integers in the rationals; it is stated as Mazur's Second Conjecture and remains unresolved.
