'''Abstract:''' We will go over briefly some basic information about trees and infinite games. Then we prove the Gale-Stewart Theorem. The proof of the theorem motivates definition of quasistrategy. Then we will briefly introduce Borel determinacy. We will go over how the usage of A.C. makes convenient for us to make a non-quasidetermined or undertermined game. We will give an explicit construction of a non-quasidetermined game on <math>\mathcal P(2^{\mathbb N})</math> without using A.C.

'''Title:''' Spectra of structures


'''Abstract:''' One way to measure the complexity of a structure is via its spectrum - the set of Turing degrees of its copies. In this talk, we'll look at the definition and first properties of the spectrum followed by some examples. In particular, we'll show that the non-computable degrees and the hyperimmune degrees form a spectrum while the DNC degrees do not.

'''Abstract:''' Despite its independence from ZFC, the continuum hypothesis continues to be of interest to logicians. In this talk, we will see arguments for settling the truth of CH in one way or another (or yet another). We will see how mathematical arguments (the inner model program) are intertwined with philosophical beliefs (mathematical Platonism and pluralism) about the set-theoretic universe(s).

'''Abstract:''' Have you ever written a mathematical proof and felt dissatisfied after writing QED? Perhaps you had proven the existence of a particularly complicated mathematical object, but you have no clue how that object may actually look or be constructed. Or perhaps you are ready to denounce the Axiom of Choice after reading about its far-reaching consequences. Constructive logic is a formal logic system that seeks to clear up these concerns for mathematicians, though not all mathematicians agree with the power it holds-- or takes away.

'''Abstract:''' A Turing degree is said to be low for isomorphism if it can only compute an isomorphism between computable structures only when a computable isomorphism already exists. In this talk, we show that the measure of the class of low for isomorphism sets in Cantor space is 0 and that no Martin Lof random is low for isomorphism.

Latest revision as of 16:33, 20 August 2025

The Graduate Logic Seminar is an informal space where graduate students and professors present topics related to logic which are not necessarily original or completed work. This is a space focused principally on practicing presentation skills or learning materials that are not usually presented in a class.

  • When: Mondays 3:30-4:30 PM
  • Where: Van Vleck B211
  • Organizer: Joseph Miller

The talk schedule is arranged at the beginning of each semester. If you would like to participate, please contact the organizers.


Fall 2025

The seminar will be run as a 1-credit seminar Math 975. In Fall 2025 students will present a logic topic of their choice (it could be original work, but does not have to be). If you are not enrolled but would like to audit it, please contact Joe Miller.
