New England Recursion theory and Definability Seminar The New England Recursion theory and Definability Seminar will start this fall with the first meeting on Sunday October 30 at Assumption College in Worcester, MA. The general plan for the seminar is to meet once a semester to give people working in recursion theory and related areas (reverse mathematics, randomness, computable analysis, computability in uncountable settings, etc.) in the northeast region a chance to listen to three or four talks and to facilitate initiating and continuing joint projects. Of course, we welcome attendance by anyone interested in these topics regardless of your area of research and our intention is to view recursion/computability theory in a broad manner. We do not have funding to cover any travel or meal expenses. The specific details of our initial meeting are below. For anyone who wishes to be put on a regular email list for seminar announcement, please send your name, affiliation (if appropriate) and email address to Reed Solomon, david.solomon@uconn.edu Reed will send out additional information (such as the building and room information at Assumption College) to the seminar email list as it becomes available. We will also have a website set up before the first meeting, although probably not for another week or so. The details of the first meeting are as follows: Sunday October 30 at Assumption College in Worcester, MA (The building and room information, travel instructions, parking information and so on will be distributed via the seminar email list as it becomes available.) Program 11:00 - 12:00 -- Marcia Groszek (Dartmouth), An open problem in reverse mathematics and infinitary combinatorics 12:15 - 2:00 -- Lunch and discussion time 2:00 - 3:00 -- Russell Miller (Queens College, CUNY), Computable difference fields 3:15 - 4:15 -- Johanna Franklin (University of Connecticut), Degrees which are low for isomorphism
