 Let R be a number field (or a recursive subring of anumber field) and consider the polynomial ring R[T].We show that the set of polynomials with integercoefficients is diophantine (existentially definable) over R[T].Applying a result by Denef, this implies that everyrecursively enumerable subset of R[T]^k is diophantine over R[T].
