Hilbert's tenth problem for lacunary entire functions of finite order

Abstract

AbstractIn the context of Hilbert's tenth problem, an outstanding open case is that of complex entire functions in one variable. A negative solution is known for polynomials (by Denef) and for exponential polynomials of finite order (by Chompitaki, Garcia‐Fritz, Pasten, Pheidas, and Vidaux), but no other case is known for rings of complex entire functions in one variable. We prove a negative solution to the analogue of Hilbert's tenth problem for rings of complex entire functions of finite order having lacunary power series expansion at the origin.
