Seminar by Prof. André Nies

Prof. André Nies, from University of Auckland, is visiting our department and he will give a seminar on Wednesday, 20th July 2016 at 15:00 in the Aula Riunioni of the DipMat. Title: Density and randomness. Abstract: We give an overview of recent connections between the Lebesgue density theorem, randomness, and the complexity of subsets of Cantor space.

Seminars by Nick Bezhanishvili and David Gabelaia

Prof. Nick Bezhanishvili from the University of Amsterdam and Prof. David Gabelaia from the Tbilisi State University will give two seminars on Thursday, 21 of January 2016 starting form 16:30 in the Sala Riunioni of the Department of Mathematics. Nick Bezhanishvili:  “A gentle introduction to modal spatial logics.” Abstract:  In this talk I will give an overview of modal spatial logics. In particular, I will discuss the MacKinsey and Tarski theorem on the topological completeness of the modal logic S4. I will also review some recent work on topological and Read more

Seminar by Prof. Peter Jipsen

Professor Peter Jipsen (Chapman Univeristy, US) will give a seminar on Monday, 11th of January 2016 at 16:00 in the Aula Riunioni of the DipMat. Title:  Poset-product decompositions of ordered algebras and equational decidability. Abstract: The poset-product of a family of ordered algebras is a common generalization of the ordinal sum and the cartesian product. In this talk we consider the question how to decompose ordered algebras into a poset-product of indecomposable components. For finite Read more

Seminar by Prof. Nick Galatos

Prof. Nick Galatos, from the University of Denver, will give a seminar on the 9 of December at 17:00, in the Aula Riunioni of the Department of Mathematics.  The title is: Densification of commutative residuated chains (joint work with R. Horcik). Abstract: It is well known that every countable totally-ordered set can be embedded into a countable totally-ordered and dense one (namely into the rationals, up to isomorphism).  We prove that the same can be done for totally-ordered commutative monoids.
