Modern Set Theory: Foundations & Applications
Workshop held at ESSLLI 2011
Ljubljana, Slovenia
1-5 August 2011
Call for Papers
=============================================
This workshop is organized and financially supported by the research networking
programme INFTY: New frontiers of infinity: mathematical, philosophical, and
computational prospects funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF).
Organizers: Mirna Dzamonja (University of East Anglia, U.K.) and Benedikt Löwe
(Universiteit van Amsterdam, The Netherlands).
Tutorial speakers. Gregor Dolinar (Univerza v Ljubljani, Slovenia), Martin
Goldstern (Technische Universität Wien, Austria), and Jean Larson (University
of Florida, U.S.A.).
Invited speaker. Grzegorz Plebanek (Uniwersytet Wroc?awski, Poland).
Programme Committee. Joan Bagaria (Universitat de Barcelona, Catalonia), Mirna
zamonja (University of East Anglia, U.K.), Benedikt Löwe (Universiteit van
Amsterdam, The Netherlands), and Jouko Väänänen (Helsingin Yliopisto, Finland
and Universiteit van Amsterdam, The Netherlands).
The ESF network INFTY aims (among other things) at embedding set theory in the
wider scope of modern logic and its applications, as represented at the ESSLLI
schools. At the moment, the connections between the set theory community and
the Logic, Language and Information (LLI) community are sparse, and yet, plenty
of points of (potential) research contact exist; to name but one: the theory of
infinite games is a central topic in modern set theory and plays an important
role in many subfields of the Logic & Computation area of the LLI community.
This workshop is funded and organized by INFTY in order to:
* Present the lively and active research area of set theory to a broader
audience of logicians;
* Allow junior members of the set-theory community to present their
research at an ESSLLI school in order to encourage them to interact with the
broader logic community;
* Offer logic students an overview of the current research trends in set
theory.
We cordially invite all set theorists to submit their abstracts via the
EasyChair submission page
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mstesslli2011
Abstracts should be at most one page long and can be submitted as "abstract
only" or as a PDF file via EasyChair. Research students and junior researchers
are particularly encouraged to submit. All workshop participants will have to
register for the ESSLLI summer school; speakers will be able to register at a
reduced rate.
Important dates.
25 March 2011. Deadline for submission of abstracts.
15 April 2011. Notification of workshop contributors.
1-5 August 2011. Workshop.
Both the workshop 'Modern Set Theory: Foundations & Applications' and the
foundational course 'Ordinals and Cardinals: Basic set-theoretic techniques in
logic' are generously funded by the European Science Foundation in the research
networking programme INFTY.
