Mathematics CAS, Zitna 25, seminar room, 3rd floor, front building.

Program: Jan Grebík — Borel chromatic numbers
I will present an overview of known facts about Borel chromatic numbers

Jindřich Zapletal: Geometric forcing

Dear all,

The seminar meets on Wednesday July 11th at 11:00 in the Institute of
Mathematics CAS, Zitna 25, seminar room, 3rd floor, front building.

Program: Jindřich Zapletal — Geometric forcing
In joint effort with Paul Larson we develop a theory which makes
possible a complete control over simple forcing extensions of the
Solovay model and detailed comparison of various consequences of the
axiom of choice.

Czech version: Jindřich Zapletal — Geometrický forcing
Ve společném úsilí s Paulem Larsonem rozvíjíme teorii, která umožnuje
úplnou kontrolu nad jednoduchými forcingovými rozšířeními Solovayova
modelu a porovnáváni různých důsledků axiomu výběru.

Mirna Džamonja: Higher order versions of the logic of chains close

Dear all,

The seminar meets on Wednesday June 20th at 11:00 in the Institute of
Mathematics CAS, Zitna 25, seminar room, 3rd floor, front building.

Program: Mirna Džamonja — Higher order versions of the logic of chains
close

First order logic of chains was discovered by Carol Karp and revisited
in recent work of Dz. with Jouko Vaananen. The results have shown that
the logic, defined through a singular cardinal of countable cofinality,
behaves very much like the first order logic. In our new joint work, we
study higher order versions of the logic of chains and their fragments
to defend the thesis that in this context we can also recover
similarities with the ordinary logic. We also discuss the idea of
infinite computation.

Damian Sobota: Rosenthal families and ultrafilters

Dear all,

The seminar meets on Wednesday May 23rd at 11:00 in the Institute of
Mathematics CAS, Zitna 25, seminar room, 3rd floor, front building.

Program: Damian Sobota — Rosenthal families and ultrafilters

Rosenthal’s lemma is a simple technical result with numerous
applications to measure theory and Banach space theory. The lemma in its
simplest form reads as follows: “For every infinite real-entried matrix
(m(n,k): n,k in N) such that every entry is non-negative and the sum of
every row is <=1, and every epsilon>0, there exists an infinite subset A
of N such that for every k in A we have sum_{n in A, n\neq
k}m_n^k<epsilon.” A natural question arises whether we can choose the
set A from a previously fixed family F of infinite subsets of N. If F
has such a property, then we call it Rosenthal. Thus, Rosenthal’s lemma
states that [N]^omega is Rosenthal. During my talk I’ll present some
necessary or sufficient conditions for a family to be Rosenthal and
prove that under MA(sigma-centered) there exists a P-point which is a
Rosenthal family but not a Q-point. (No Banach space will appear during
the talk.)
