We show that Diophantine problem (otherwise known as Hilbert's Tenth Problem) is undecidable over the fields of algebraic functions over the finite fields of constants of characteristic greater than two. This is the first example of Diophantine undecidability over any algebraic field. We also show t

In this paper we introduce a definition for L-functions associated to an Abelian covering of algebraic curves with singularities. The main result is a proof that this definition is compatible with the definition of the zeta function of a singular curve.
## DEDICATED TO PROFESSOR CHAO KO ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 90TH BIRTHDAY Motivated by arithmetic applications, we introduce the notion of a partial zeta function which generalizes the classical zeta function of an algebraic variety de"ned over a "nite "eld. We then explain two approaches to the gene
In [11], a new bound for the number of points on an algebraic curve over a "nite "eld of odd order was obtained, and applied to improve previous bounds on the size of a complete arc not contained in a conic. Here, a similar approach is used to show that a complete arc in a plane of even order q has
