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: Tuesdays 4-5 PM
- Where: Van Vleck 901
- Organizers: Jun Le Goh
The talk schedule is arranged at the beginning of each semester. If you would like to participate, please contact one of the organizers.

Spring 2022
The graduate logic seminar this semester will be run as MATH 975. Please enroll if you wish to participate.
We plan to cover the first 9 parts of Tin Lok Wong's notes, as well as a few other relevant topics which are not covered in the notes:
- Properness of the induction/bounding hierarchy (chapter 10 of Models of Peano Arithmetic by Kaye is a good source)
- Tennenbaum's theorem (this is a quick consequence of the main theorem of part 4, so it should be combined with part 4 or part 5)
- Other facts found in chapter 1 of David Marker's thesis.
January 25 - organizational meeting
We will meet to assign speakers to dates.
February 1 - Steffen Lempp
Professor Lempp will give an overview of the topics we will cover.
