The Skolem Problem in rings of positive characteristic
Ruiwen Dong, Doron Shafrir
We show that the Skolem Problem is decidable in finitely generated commutative rings of positive characteristic. More precisely, we show that there exists an algorithm which, given…
S-unit equations in modules and linear-exponential Diophantine equations
Ruiwen Dong, Doron Shafrir
Let be a positive integer, and be a finitely presented module over the Laurent polynomial ring . We consider S-unit…
Sections of Submonoids of Nilpotent Groups
Doron Shafrir
We show that every product of f.g.\ submonoids of a group is a section of a f.g.\ submonoid of , where is a Heisenberg group. This g…
Is decidability of the Submonoid Membership Problem closed under finite extensions?
Doron Shafrir
We show that the rational subset membership problem in can be reduced to the submonoid membership problem in where is virtually Abelian. We use this to show th…
Bounded Generation of Submonoids of Heisenberg Groups
Doron Shafrir
If is a nilpotent group and has Hirsch length , then every f.g. submonoid of is boundedly generated, i.e. a product of cyclic submonoids. Using a reduction of Bo…
