There is a well-known analogy between the arithmetic of rational numbers and the theory of meromorphic functions over a normed field. It is a classical result of Julia Robinson that the first order theory of the field of rational numbers is undecidable, and one would expect such a result in the meromorphic setting. In this talk I’ll give an outline of the proof of undecidability for rigid meromorphic functions in positive characteristic
