Workshop on Set Theory at ISLA 2010
January 25–29, 2010
University of Hyderabad, Gachibowli, India

Speakers include:
Tristan Bice (Kobe University, Japan),
Andrés Caicedo (Boise State University, Idaho, USA),
Natasha Dobrinen (University of Denver, Colorado, USA),
Gregor Dolinar (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia),
Stefan Geschke (University of Bonn, Germany),
Daisuke Ikegami (University of Amsterdam, Netherlands),
 Thomas Jech (Pennsylvania State University, USA/Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic),
Yurii Khomskii (University of Amsterdam, Netherlands),
Maciej Malicki (Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland),
Denis I. Saveliev (Moscow State University, Russia),
Shashi Mohan Srivastava (Indian Statistical Institute-Kolkata, India),
Agatha Walczak-Typke (University of Helsinki, Finland).

This workshop is intended to be a research event for set theorists around the world, covering the major areas of set theory, such as large cardinals, infinite games, forcing, and descriptive set theory. At the same time, we expect that the workshop provides a learning atmosphere for the student participants of ISLA 2010. We encourage all speakers of the workshop to aim at least half of their presentations at a student audience, and we specially welcome talks in tutorial style or presentations by students who present their research. In total, we expect 10 presentations of 45 minutes each, spread over four days.

Set Theory is one of the major areas of mathematical logic. The European Science Foundation has recently launched a research network in set theory INFTY because of its plentiful connections and analogies to computational and philosophical issues. Set Theory was represented with an 11-hour tutorial taught by Agatha Walczak-Typke, S.M.Srivastava, and Benedikt Löwe) at ISLA 2008, and there will be a satellite event to the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM 2010) with an emphasis on set theory in Chennai. As a consequence, exposure to research-level set theory is crucial for the next generation of Indian logicians.

Organizers. Benedikt Löwe (University of Amsterdam, Netherlands), Agatha Walczak-Typke (University of Helsinki, Finland), Philip Welch (University of Bristol, UK).
