Apr 16, 2010 at 9:29 comment added Sidney Raffer @jamieweigandt: By "cut out" do you mean the minimum number of existential quantifiers necessary to give a diophantine definition of a given set? That would be consistent with the statement "Poonen is asking if the integers has diophantine dimension 2" ..... After all, one would use two quantifiers and a 3-variable polynomial f(x,y)-z in the diophantine definition of N, if the answer to Poonen's question is "yes". The question whether a non-computable set can be defined with just two quantifiers, is interesting by itself.
