Chris Lambie-Hanson is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Virginia Commonwealth University.

He received his PhD from Carnegie Mellon University in May 2014, working with James Cummings.

His research interests primarily lie in set theory, in particular forcing, large cardinals, and combinatorial set theory.

## Chris Lambie-Hanson: Constructions from square and diamond, with an application to super-Souslin trees

Monday, May 8, 2017, 16.30 Seminar room 0.011, Mathematical Institute, University of Bonn Speaker: Chris Lambie-Hanson (Bar-Ilan) Title: Constructions from square and diamond, with an application to super-Souslin trees Abstract. In 1982, Shelah and Stanley proved that, if $\kappa$ is a regular, infinite cardinal, $2^\kappa = \kappa^+$, and there is a $(\kappa^+, 1)$-morass, then there is a $\kappa^{++}$-super-Souslin tree, which is a type of normal $\kappa^{++}$-tree that necessarily has a $\kappa^{++}$-Souslin subtree and continues to do so in any outer model in which $\kappa^{++}$ is preserved and no new subsets of $\kappa$ are present. continue reading…

## Chris Lambie-Hanson: Partition relations and generalized scattered orders

BIU seminar in Set Theory On 30/03/2017, 10-12, Building 604, Room 103 Speaker: Chris Lambie-Hanson Title: Partition relations and generalized scattered orders Abstract: The class of scattered linear orders, isolated by Hausdorff, plays a prominent role in the study of general linear orders. continue reading…

## Chris Lambie-Hanson: Trees with ascent paths

HUJI Logic Seminar  The next meeting of the Logic Seminar will be in Wednesday, 22/03/17, 16:00 – 18:00, Ross buiding. Speaker: Chris Lambie-Hanson Title: Reflections on the coloring and chromatic numbers Abstract: The notion of an ascent path through a tree, isolated by Laver, is a generalization of the notion of a cofinal branch and, in many cases, the existence of an ascent path through a tree provides a concrete obstruction to the tree being special. continue reading…

## Chris Lambie-Hanson: Reflections on the coloring and chromatic numbers

HUJI Logic Seminar  The next meeting of the Logic Seminar will be in Wednesday, 18/01, 16:00 – 18:00, Ross 70. Speaker: Chris Lambie-Hanson Title: Reflections on the coloring and chromatic numbers Abstract: Compactness phenomena play a central role in modern set theory, and the investigation of compactness and incompactness for the coloring and chromatic numbers of graphs has been a thriving area of research since the mid-20th century,when De Bruijn and Erdős published their compactness theorem for finite chromatic numbers. continue reading…
