Are there good mutually interpretable axioms for synthetic Euclidean and hyperbolic geometry?
Here is an expanded version of my previous comments. There are a lot of things to check here and I haven't.
In my opinion the right axioms for Euclidean/Hyperbolic geometry are the Tarski axioms. Tars …

Does $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ act faithfully on a countable set?
Let $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ be the group of rotations of $\mathbb{R}^3$ and let $S_\infty$ be the group of all permutations of $\mathbb{N}$. Is $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ isomorphic to a subgroup of $S_\infty$?
This q …

Can one show that the real field is not interpretable in the complex field without the axiom...
(1) $\mathbb{C}$ is stable, (2) $\mathbb{R}$ is unstable, and (3) stability is preserved under interpretations. Of course the usual development of stability uses a lot of choice, but (2) and (3) are e …

The original Erdős-Volkmann ring problem
The Erdős-Volkmann ring problem and its solution are famous, but the original problem is actually still open. I'll describe this and a related problem from geometric measure theory, I think both of th …

Does the random graph interpret the random directed graph?
The random graph is the Fraisse limit of the class of finite graphs, the random directed graph is the Fraisse limit of the class of directed graphs, a directed graph is just a set with a binary relati …

Is there a complete characterization of ordered fields without definable proper subfields?
This is an interesting question. We know some things about this, but we do not have a characterization of fields with this property. As Wojowu says above the restriction to countable fields doesn't he …

Applications of Robinson's consistency theorem in algebra?
I don't know of a nice purely algebraic application off the top of my head, I don't even know of many applications to model theory. I was actually pretty happy with I found some application of Craig i …

Is (Z,+,0,1,P2,P3) decidable?
Christian Schulz (a grad student at Urbana) and Philipp Hieronymi have recently shown that $(\mathbb{Z},+,<,2^{\mathbb{N}},3^{\mathbb{N}})$ is undecidable. And I believe they prove this for $(\mathbb{ …

Why are model theorists so fond of definable groups?
Alex's answer is very good, but there is another reason that is worth mentioning. One of the main goals of model theory is to known when first order theories of interest are interpretable in other the …
