Young set theory workshop. Haus Annaberg in Bonn, 21-25 January 2008

Programme

Senior researchers will be invited to give tutorials which represent one of the branches of set theory:


Forcing
Infinite combinatorics
Applications of set theory
Inner model theory
Descriptive set theory


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 tutorial. This will be organised using sign-up sheets with suggested topics, but also leaving open the possibility of the formation of more spontaneous groups.

The meeting will consist of morning and afternoon sessions. The morning session (3 hours) will be reserved for the tutorials of the senior researchers. In the afternoon, participants will be organized into small groups for discussion sessions (2-3 hours) and the day will be concluded with a talk given by an outstanding postdoc (45 minutes).

During the discussion sessions there will be coffee and biscuits available.
