Recursive definability of curves and Jacobians in perfect fields
Recursive definability of curves and Jacobians in perfect fields
Let be a perfect field, let be a positive integer, and let and be definable sets. A genus- curve over with Jacobian is represented by definable bijections between and and between and .
Recursive definability conjecture. There are formulas , , and , depending recursively on and , such that the following are equivalent:
- There is a genus- curve with Jacobian for which is in definable bijection with and is in definable bijection with .
- There are and such that is in definable bijection with and is in definable bijection with .
This is the underlying definability assertion used in the proposed proof of recursive axiomatizability. The surrounding discussion presents it as an informal formulation of what must be made precise, rather than as a resolved result.
