# Set-Theoretic Topology and Topological Algebra

International Conference Set-Theoretic Topology and Topological Algebra in honor of professor Alexander Arhangelskii on his 80-th birthday

Professor Alexander Vladimirovich Arhangelskii more than forty-five years works at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, of which over thirty years in the position of professor. A.V. Arhangelskii is a pupil of Academician P.S. Alexandroff, who, together with P.S. Uryson founded the Russian (Soviet) topological school. And to this day the Russian topological school is one of the best in the world. His scientific results became classical and laid the foundation for such scientific areas as topological algebra, spaces of continuous functions, topological homogeneity. He wrote more than 330 works, more than fifty times A.V. Arhangelskii was an invited speaker at international conferences and symposiums. Monographs of A.V. Arhangel’skii “Topological function spaces”, “Cantor set theory”, “Finite-dimensional vector spaces”, “Topological groups and related structures” (joint with M.G. Tkachenko) and joint with V.I. Ponomarev textbook “Fundamentals of General Topology in Problems and Exercises” became reference books for many mathematicians and translated into foreign languages. He established in Russia an authoritative scientific school: among the students of A.V. Arhangelskii 37 candidates and doctors of science, among them more than 20 professors.

Topics include:
1. Set-Theoretic Topology
2. Mappings and Spaces
3. Topological groups
4. Topological function spaces

## Appalachian Set Theory workshop: Dilip Raghavan, June 2, 2018

Appalachian set theory

# Dilip Raghavan : “Boolean ultrapowers and iterated forcing”

## Description

In joint work with Saharon Shelah, we develop a new method for proving consistency results on cardinal invariants, particularly results involving the invariant . This method can be used with a wide range of forcing notions, including arbitrary ccc posets. However the method always requires a supercompact cardinal κ in the ground model and produces forcing extensions in which the desired invariants sit above κ. Another feature of our method is that it generalizes to cardinal invariants above ω, and can be used to give uniform consistency proofs that work at any regular cardinal. It can also be used to treat situations where three cardinal invariants must be separated. In particular, our technique solves various long standing open problems about cardinal invariants at uncountable regular cardinals. All the results use Boolean ultrapowers, studied by Keisler and other model theorists in the 1960s. I will aim to give a fairly self contained introduction to this method and to some to its applications to the theory of cardinal invariants.

## Local information

The nearest airport is Pittsburgh International Airport. The Supershuttle shared van service is cheaper but slower than taking a taxi from the airport.

## Lodging

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT LODGING: A block of rooms earmarked for attendees has been set aside at a local hotel (the Shadyside Inn). If we are covering your lodging expenses then we will need to make a reservation for you. Please don’t make your own reservation if we have promised you support, this will cause confusion and may make it impossible for us to reimburse you.

Funds provided by the National Science Foundation will be used to reimburse some participant transportation and lodging expenses. Priority will be given to students and faculty who do not hold federal research grants. Please request such funds as far in advance of the meeting as possible by sending the following information to the email address appalachiansettheory@gmail.com
