O sedmnáctém Hilbertově problému
This paper presents a natural axiomatization of the real closed fields. It is universal and admits quantifier elimination.
In this paper we present a method of obtaining new examples of spaces of orderings by considering quotient structures of the space of orderings - it is, in general, nontrivial to determine whether, for a subgroup the derived quotient structure is a space of orderings, and we provide some insights into this problem. In particular, we show that if a quotient structure arising from a subgroup of index 2 is a space of orderings, then it necessarily is a profinite one.
The purpose of this paper is to prove that the Pythagorean hull of Q is the splitting field in R of a special set of rational polynomials.
