Logic and Mathematics Conference

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The aim of this proposal is to organize a conference on logic,with a focus on descriptive set theory, and its applications. The plannedlectures represent the highest quality work being done in the field. Bybringing together major contributors, the conference will help develop newavenues of cooperation and will help familiarize researchers with recentwork on applications of descriptive set theory. In connection with theconference, the 60th birthday of Alexander S. Kechris will be celebrated.Professor Kechris has been among the most important contributors to thefield in the last 35 years.The project aims to help mathematicians learn to use tools coming fromlogic in their work and also to familiarize logicians with problems andideas originating in other fields which may resonate with methodsdeveloped within logic. The young researchers whose participation in themeeting will be supported by this project will benefit by directlyinteracting with the best mathematicians in the field. Attendance in theconference will be a valuable component in their graduate and postgraduateeducation.
