Classification Theory

Classification theory is one of major themes in model theory supplying 
uniform points of views for understanding algebraic or analytic 
mathematical structures in the same class. As model theory is a branch of 
mathematical logic, logical points of views to the structures are newly 
provided in addition to their own mathematical natures. The most 
intensively studied class of structures is stable structures such as 
modules, differential fields; and such study is called `stability theory. 
As is well-known stability theory has strong applicational impacts towards 
geometry and number theory. The conference mainly focuses on the recent 
developments of classification theory. Classically important classes such 
as stable, simple, or o-mimimal structures will be the themes. Additional 
topics of the conference includes (but not limited to): NIP, NTP1, NTP2, 
and rosy structures; new techniques such as dp-rank, VC-density, Keisler 
measure, and homology group computation; and their applications.
