The Diophantine problem in Chevalley groups
In this paper we study the Diophantine problem in Chevalley groups , where is an indecomposable root system of rank , is
an arbitrary commutative ring with . We establish a variant of double
centralizer theorem for elementary unipotents . This theorem is
valid for arbitrary commutative rings with . The result is principle to show
that any one-parametric subgroup , , is Diophantine
in . Then we prove that the Diophantine problem in is
polynomial time equivalent (more precisely, Karp equivalent) to the Diophantine
problem in . This fact gives rise to a number of model-theoretic corollaries
for specific types of rings.Comment: 44 page
