My collaboration with Julia Robinson (Q1208619)

The paper is an autobiographical reconstruction of the research done by the author in order to find the solution of Hilbert's tenth problem, the determination of the solvability of a Diophantine equation. The solution was obtained through a collaboration with Julia Robinson (and Martin Davis). Useful informations are given in the paper about both the steps performed in order to obtain the solution and the scientific and academic context in which the research was developed. The paper is very interesting for everybody interested in logic, number theory and history of logic and mathematics.
