Abstract.

Let K be a number field. Let W be a set of non-archimedean primes of K, let O K , W ={xKord p x≥0∀pW}. Then if K is a totally real non-trivial cyclic extension of ℚ, there exists an infinite set W of finite primes of K such that ℤ and the ring of algebraic integers of K have a Diophantine definition over O K , W . (Thus, the Diophantine problem of O K , W is undecidable.)
