When K is a function field in one variable whose constant field is algebraic over a finite field, we can also prove undecidability in characteristic 2. The proof uses a result by Moret-Bailly about ranks of elliptic curves over function fields.12 pages; strengthened main theorem, proved undecidability in the language of rings without parametersNumber TheoryLogic11U05 (Primary); 03B25 (Secondary)Undecidability in function fields of positive characteristictext
