(I hope) some theorems of interest to see on both days, and both on
the general topic of answering the following question: What do you
need to know about a strongly minimal theory in order to compute
copies of all of its countable models. I'll start with a definition
for strongly minimal theories and build up from there.

continuous logic is stricter than a naive comparison to discrete logic
would suggest. As a consequence, even in relatively tame theories
there can be very few definable sets. For example, there is a
superstable theory with no non-trivial definable sets. As we'll see,
however, there are many definable sets in omega-stable,
omega-categorical, and other small theories.

its own, those properties might vanish when we apply it repeatedly.
Early preservation results (that is, theorems saying that the
iteration of forcings with a nice property retains that nice property)
were fairly limited, and things really got off the ground with
Shelah's invention of "proper forcing." Roughly speaking, a forcing is
proper if it can be approximated by elementary submodels of the
universe in a particularly nice way. I'll define proper forcing and
sketch some applications.

Abstract: It is well known that given a real number x (in the real line) the set of all reals that have the same Turing degree (we will call this a Turing equivalence class) have order type 'the rationals' and that, unless x is computable, the set is not a subfield of the reals. Nevertheless, what can we say about the order type or the algebraic structure of a set made by the uncountable union of Turing equivalence classes?


This topic hasn't been deeply studied. In this talk I will focus principally on famous order types and answer whether they can be achieved or not. Furthermore, I will explain some possible connections with the automorphism problem of the Turing degrees.

This is a work in progress, so this talk will have multiple open questions and opportunities for feedback and public participation (hopefully).
