This book is the result of a meeting that took place at the University of Ghent (Belgium) on the relations between Hilbert’s tenth problem, arithmetic, and algebraic geometry. Included are written articles detailing the lectures that were given as well as contributed papers on current topics of interest. The following areas are addressed: an historical overview of Hilbert’s tenth problem, Hilbert’s tenth problem for various rings and fields, model theory and local-global principles, including relations between model theory and algebraic groups and analytic geometry, conjectur
