Graduate Logic Seminar
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 B223
- Organizers: Steffen Lempp and Hongyu Zhu
The talk schedule is arranged at the beginning of each semester. If you would like to participate, please contact one of the organizers.

The seminar will be run as a 1-credit seminar Math 975 . In Spring 2024, the topic will be forcing constructions in computability theory. If you are not enrolled but would like to audit it, please contact Steffen Lempp and Hongyu Zhu.

January 29 - Organizational Meeting
Steffen Lempp will give an overview and present some very basic forcing construction.
We will then assign speakers to dates and topics.
February 5 - Taeyoung Em
Title: Introduction to forcing
Abstract: We introduce new definitions and properties regarding forcing.
February 12 - Hongyu Zhu
Title: Slaman-Woodin Forcing and the Theory of Turing Degrees
Abstract: We will discuss how to use Slaman-Woodin forcing to interpret true second(first, resp.)-order arithmetic in the Turing degrees (Turing degrees below 0', resp.), thereby showing they have the same Turing degree.
