Cofinality spectrum problems in model theory, set theory and general topology
Speaker:
Maryanthe Malliaris, University of Chicago
Date and Time:
Friday, October 26, 2012 - 3:30pm
Location:
Fields Institute, Room 230
Abstract:
Recent work of Malliaris and Shelah on model-theoretic questions around saturation of regular ultrapowers has led also to theorems in set theory and general topology, notably the result that p = t. The talk will outline our general program and some features of this recent proof.
