Martin Davis's conjecture on simple sets and Hilbert's tenth problem over the rationals

Let SNS\subseteq\mathbb{N} be a simple set, meaning that NS\mathbb{N}\setminus S is infinite and contains no infinite recursively enumerable subset. Let UQU\subseteq\mathbb{Q} be the set used in the preceding construction, and define

Sp={aN:xQm such that p(ya,x)=0}.S_p=\{a\in\mathbb{N}:\exists x\in\mathbb{Q}^m\text{ such that }p(y_a,x)=0\}.

Here pp is the polynomial associated with a Diophantine definition of SS and the map ayaa\mapsto y_a from the preceding construction. Martin Davis's conjecture. There is a Diophantine definition of a simple set SS for which NSp\mathbb{N}\setminus S_p is infinite. If true, this would imply that Hilbert's tenth problem is unsolvable over Q\mathbb{Q}; the source provides no resolution status.
