Single-fold Diophantine representations and undecidability under an at-most-one-solution promise

What the paper claims, in its own words

Every recursively enumerable set of tuples of natural numbers has a Diophantine representation with exactly one auxiliary solution for each member and none for nonmembers. This proves the single-fold conjecture and hence the finite-fold conjecture. Diophantine solvability over the nonnegative integers remains undecidable even with an at-most-one-solution promise.
