Abstract:
Let be a number field, and a set of its non-Archimedean primes. Then let . Let be a finite set of prime numbers. Let be the field generated by all the -th roots of unity as and . Let be the largest totally real subfield of . Then for any , there exist a number field , and a set of non-Archimedean primes of such that has density greater than , and has a Diophantine definition over the integral closure of in .
