Title: Degrees of points in topological spaces
Presentation Schedule: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ect-dgHdoHOgq4-5BGFiDh6pPThLfDg69Yg__-b_5RY/edit?usp=sharing Sign up here.]


Abstract: An overview of some results from Takayuki Kihara, Keng Meng Ng, and Arno Pauly in their paper Enumeration Degrees and Non-Metrizable Topology. We will look at a range of topological spaces and the corresponding classes in the enumeration degrees as well as ways in which we can distinguish the type of classes using the separation axioms.

Abstract: After an analysis-free exposition of definable sets in continuous logic, we will present a fun, illustrated proof that any finite bounded lattice can be the poset of definable subsets of $S_1(T)$ for a continuous theory $T$.

Title: A Levin-Schnorr type result for Weak Solovay random states.
=== '''September 16 - Sections 1.2-1.4''' ===


Abstract: We look at the initial-segment complexity of Weak Solovay quantum random states using MK, a prefix-free version of quantum Kolmogorov complexity. The statement of our result is similar to the Levin-Schnorr theorem in classical algorithmic randomness.
Kanav Madhura will continue with Sections 1.2-1.4.

Title: Elementary submodels in infinite combinatorics
Kanav Madhura will continue with Sections 1.3-1.4. Lucas Duckworth will be ready with Sections 2.1 and 2.2 should there be time.


Abstract: The usage of elementary submodels is a simple but powerful method to prove theorems, or to simplify proofs in infinite combinatorics. In the first part of the talk, we quickly cover the basic concepts involved for proving results using elementary submodels, and move on to provide two examples of application of the technique to prove two popular results from set theory: The Delta System lemma and the Fodors Pressing down lemma . We provide both the classical proof as well as a proof using elementary submodels to contrast the two approaches.
