Is it correct to omit "the" in the following sentence?

[galois]

Hello friends, I need your help to clear up doubts regarding the correct writing of the following sentence:

This work is organized as follows: in Section 1 we recall some definitions. Section 2 is devoted to presenting preliminary results. ...

Is it right? Or should I put "the" before "preliminary results" like this:

This work is organized as follows: in Section 1 we recall some definitions. Section 2 is devoted to presenting the preliminary results. ...

Thanks in advance.

Hi galois, and welcome.
Are you referring to particular (or previously mentioned) preliminary results?

 

[galois]

Thank you.
I haven't previously mentioned the preliminary results, I'm about to do so in a subsequent section.

In that case, @galois, don't use "the".

 

[galois]

In that case, @galois, don't use "the".

Thank you!

What do you mean by "recall some definitions"? How about "explain (the meaning of) some definitions"?
