Following Denef we show how rank one elliptic curves can be used to prove undecidability for rational function fields over formally real fields. We also sketch the undecidability proofs for function fields of varieties over the complex numbers of dimension at least 2.16 pages; to appear in Model Theory with Applications to Algebra and Analysis: Newton Institute 2005Number TheoryLogic11U05 (Primary); 03B25 (Secondary)text
