Hosted by:
Young Set Theory Workshop 2010
Seminarzentrum Raach, near Vienna, Austria
The aim of this conference is to bring together PhD students and postdocs in
Set Theory in order to learn from leading researchers in the field, hear about
the latest research and to discuss research issues in a co-operative environment.
The third annual Young Set Theory Workshop will take place between
15-19 February 2010 at Seminarzentrum Raach in Austria.
The conference format will be similar to previous years, including
tutorials, postdoc research talks and discussion sessions.
The tutorial speakers were chosen by the Scientific Committee to
represent one branch of set theory:
Ralf Schindler (Inner Model Theory)
Greg Hjorth (Descriptive Set Theory)
Justin Moore (Applications of Set Theory)
Uri Abraham (Forcing)
The Scientific Committee chose the following outstanding postdocs to
give one hour research talks.
Philipp Schlicht (Inner Model Theory)
Bart Kastermans (Combinatorics/Forcing)
Wieslaw Kubis (Applications)
Inessa Epstein (Descriptive Set Theory)
Thomas Johnstone (Large cardinals/Forcing)
Lyubomyr Zdomskyy (Combinatorics/Forcing)
In addition, all participants will be asked to write a one-page statement
about their research. These statements will be
made available to all participants at the conference. Based on these
statements, specific discussion sessions will be formed for those
working in similar areas and more general sessions for those
interested in getting an overview of the latest research in each
branch of set theory. Moreover, every senior researcher will be asked
to lead a discussion session relating to the topic of his or her
tutorial. This will be organized using sign-up sheets with suggested
topics, but also leaving open the possibility of the formation of more
spontaneous groups.
