We consider the 10-fragment of second-order logic over the vocabulary h+;; 0; 1; <; S1; :::; Ski, interpreted over the reals, where the predicate symbols Si are interpreted as semialgebraic sets. We show that, in this context, satisability of formulas is decidable for the rst-order 9-quantier fragment and undecidable for the 98- and 8-fragments. We also show that for these three fragments the same (un)decidability results hold for containment and equivalence of formulas.
