Brent Cody received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the City University of New York Graduate Center under Joel David Hamkins. He is now a postdoctoral fellow at the Fields Institute in Toronto.

Cody’s work has mostly been on forcing various behaviors of the continuum function while preserving large cardinals. In particular, Cody extended Woodin’s method of surgically modifying a generic filter to the case of partially supercompact cardinals. He has also done some joint work with Arthur Apter on consecutive singular cardinals in choiceless models of set theory.

## Brent Cody: Easton’s Theorem for Woodin cardinals

Friday, July 06 at 1:30pm Fields institute, Stewart library Speaker: Brent Cody (Fields) Title: Easton’s Theorem for Woodin cardinals Abstract: Easton proved that the continuum function $\kappa\mapsto 2^\kappa$ on regular cardinals can be forced to behave in any way that is consistent with Konig’s Theorem ($\kappa<cf(2^\kappa)$) and monotonicity ($\kappa<\lambda$ implies $2^\kappa\leq 2^\lambda$). continue reading…
