Title: Decidability of the theory of all modules over a ring

Speaker: Gennady Puninsky

Abstract: Let T be the theory of all modules over an effectively given (usually countable) associative ring R. The modern approach to prove decidability of T is through the topological space called the Ziegler spectrum of R. We will explain this approach and describe two main classes of rings that are of primary interest: 1) finite dimensional algebras where, according to Mike Prest's conjecture, T is decidable if R is tame; and 2) rings that are in a certain sense close to the ring of integers, for instance, the ring of algebraic integers or the algebra of entire (complex or real) functions.
