Undecidability conjecture for Diophantine problems over number fields and rings of algebraic integers

Let FF be a number field, meaning a finite algebraic extension of Q\mathbb{Q}, and let O\mathcal{O} be a ring of algebraic integers. The Diophantine problem asks whether polynomial equations with coefficients in the given ring or field have solutions in that structure. Undecidability conjecture. The Diophantine problem in Q\mathbb{Q}, as well as in any number field FF, or any ring of algebraic integers O\mathcal{O}, is undecidable. This extends the classical undecidability of the Diophantine problem in Z\mathbb{Z} and is a major conjecture in number theory; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
