| contents | In this note, we present a characterization of sets definable in Skolem arithmetic, i.e., the first-order theory of natural numbers with multiplication. This characterization allows us to prove the decidability of the theory. The idea is similar to that of Mostowski; however, our characterization is new, and the proof relies on different combinatorial tools. The main goal of this note is to provide a simpler decidability proof than those previously known. |
