  • Uniform Definability of Henselian Valuation Rings in the Macintyre
    Erschienen in: Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society ; 47 (2015), 4. - S. 693-703 https://dx.doi.org/10.1112/blms/bdv042 Uniform definability of henselian valuation rings in the Macintyre language Arno Fehm and Alexander Prestel Abstract We discuss definability of henselian valuation rings in the Macintyre language LMac, the language of rings expanded by nth power predicates. In particular, we show that henselian valuation rings with finite or Hilbertian residue field are uniformly ∃-∅-definable in LMac, and henselian valuation rings with value group Z are uniformly ∃∀-∅-definable in the ring language, but not uniformly ∃-∅-definable in LMac. We apply these results to local fields Qp and Fp((t)), as well as to higher dimensional local fields. 1. Introduction The question of definability of henselian valuation rings in their quotient fields goes back at least to Julia Robinson, who observed that the ring of p-adic integers Zp can be characterized inside the field of p-adic numbers Qp purely algebraically, for example, for odd prime numbers p as 2 2 Zp = {x ∈ Qp :(∃y ∈ Qp)(y =1+px )}. This definition of the henselian valuation ring of the local field Qp is existential (or diophantine) and parameter-free (∃-∅, for short), and it depends on p. For the local fields Fp((t)), an existential parameter-free definition of the henselian valuation ring Fp[[t]] is much less obvious and was given only recently in [1]. Also this definition depends heavily on p. Of particular importance in this subject and in applications to diophantine geometry and the model theory of fields is the question whether there are uniform definitions, for example, of Zp in Qp independent of p, and how complex such definitions have to be.

  • Question 3.1: Do You Agree with Ofcom’S Proposal to Set Synchronised Charge Controls for LLU and WLR?
    NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION OFCOM CHARGE CONTROL REVIEW FOR LLU AND WLR SERVICES – CONSULTATION ISSUED 31 MARCH 2011 RESPONSE BY EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE LIMITED A. INTRODUCTION Everything Everywhere Limited (EE) welcomes the opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s important consultation on the next charge control review for local loop unbundling (LLU) and wholesale line rental (WLR) services, issued on 31 March 2011 (the Consultation). This Consultation is of key commercial and competitive significance for the success of EE’s Orange Home fixed voice and broadband business going forward. In this regard we note that, whilst during the course of 2011 we have been moving from a direct shared metallic path facility (SMPF) and WLR based mode of providing these retail services to providing our retail services through a wholesale arrangement with BT, [][]. The comments in this response represent the views of EE. It should be noted that the views of EE’s shareholders and those of the holding companies and ultimate parent companies may vary from these views. Those parts of this response marked with [] and highlighted in blue are confidential to EE. B. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EE’s experience of LLU regulation and market conditions in the UK as an SMPF based service provider has been a telling one. Most notably, following the initial successes of Ofcom LLU policy in stimulating SMPF based retail broadband competition, progressive changes to regulatory investment ladder have resulted in us witnessing over the last five years the market exit of a very large proportion of the SMPF “early adopters” (e.g. Tiscali, AOL, Pipex, Bulldog). In May 2011, we have also seen the total number of unbundled lines in the UK falling rather than growing for the first time in several years, from 7.62 million lines in April 2011 to 7.56 million lines in May 20111.
