 Zusammenfassung: Simultaneous rigid $E$-unification, or SREU for short, is a fundamental problem that arises in global methods of automated theorem proving in classical logic with equality. In order to do proof search in intuitionistic logic with equality one has to handle SREU as well. Furthermore, restricted forms of SREU are strongly related to word equations and finite tree automata. It was recently shown that second-order unification has a very natural reduction to simultaneous rigid $E$-unification, which constituted probably the most transparent undecidability proof of SREU. Here we show that there is also a natural encoding of SREU in second-order unification. It follows that the problems are logspace equivalent. So second-order unification plays the same fundamental role as SREU in automated reasoning in logic with equality. We exploit this connection and use finite tree automata techniques to present a very elementary undecidability proof of second-order unification, by reduction from the halting problem for Turing machines. It follows from that proof that second-order unification is undecidable for all nonmonadic second-order term languages having at least two second-order variables with sufficiently high arities.
