Abstract: this paper is to define a framework for such reduction
proofs. The method proposed is illustrated by proving the undecidability of the theory of
a term algebra modulo the axioms of associativity and commutativity and of the theory
of a partial lexicographic path ordering.

...of a formula is the number of alternations of quanti ers in the prenex form. On the undecidability side of the border it was proved in [T90] and [T92] that the 3 part the theory is undecidable (this part contains the formulae whose quanti er pre x is of the form 9 8 9...
...even in the structure of finite feature trees. Our proof is based on an encoding of the Post Correspondence Problem using a technique of [33]. Once the undecidability of the first order theory of FT is settled, it remains to distinguish decidable fragments and their...
