Summer school in set theory: Large cardinals, inner models and fine structure, Irvine CA (U.S.A.), 25 June to 6 July 2012

Dear Colleagues/Students,

Southern California Logic Group is organizing a graduate summer school in 
set theory to be held June 25 through July 6 at the UC Irvine Campus. The 
topic of the summer schools is

Large Cardinals, Inner Models and fine structure.

The link to the school homepage can be found at 
http://math.uci.edu/~mzeman

The idea is to make a very intensive school where both students and 
instructors will give presentations and where discussions will be held to 
work on problems. The topics will will cover both the theory and 
applications of fine structural inner models. The level will depend on the 
pool of participants and will be chosen in order to fit the participants 
background to the best possible extent. The general idea is to start with 
small models and move gradually up as far as the time permits.  As a 
prerequisite, standard graduate course of set theory is necessary. Basic 
knowledge of forcing is preferable, but not absolutely necessary.

The school is able to provide full support to US citizens and permanent 
residents. I am also looking for funding for foreign students, but foreign 
students may need funding from their universities or advisors.

I would be very grateful if you could help spread this message among all 
graduate students who may be potentially interested and to set theorists 
who may have interested students.

I would be also very grateful if students who consider attending contact 
me as soon as possible, preferably by April 20, even if they have not made 
final decision by that time. This would help me to estimate the number of 
participants as well as to set up the program -- by learning about their 
set theoretic background -- and also organize housing.

Please do not hesitate to contact me and ask questions if you have any.
