In your write-up Def 1.4 you say that the degree of (z_1w + z_2)^(2^k) is 2^k but in fact it is 2^(k+1) as the highest term is z_1^(2^k)w^(2^k) which has degree 2^k + 2^k. It would be easy to reduce the maximum degree of a single variable by introducing additional variables and equations, say replace x^8 by x' and x' = a^2, a = b^2, b = x^2. Several equations (e_i = f_i)_(i<n) can be put into one equation (sum_(i<n) (e_i-f_i)^2)=0. All of this is of course well-known.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-68802710851814056382020-05-08T14:55:11.753-05:002020-05-08T14:55:11.753-05:00Here's a nice overview of related questions ht...Here's a nice overview of related questions http://www-math.mit.edu/~poonen/papers/h10_notices.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-3527393619471436072020-05-05T05:04:38.222-05:002020-05-05T05:04:38.222-05:00If a question is undecidable it just mean the QUES...If a question is undecidable it just mean the QUESTION is wrong, question the question.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
