GrothenDitQue: on Andrea Vaccaro: Embedding C*-algebras into the Calkin algebra
Seminar organizer’s toolbox
David Fernández Bretón earned a Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of York University in Toronto, under the supervision of Juris Steprāns.
My main interests are Logic and Set Theory, especially Forcing and Large Cardinals (although my knowledge of the latter is not as deep as I would like), and their applications to Algebra and Analysis. I am currently working on the algebra and topology of the Stone-Čech compactification of groups, notably Abelian groups, and with idempotents in said compactification. I have also been interested in the Cardinal Invariants of the Continuum for a while.
In a much more informal fashion (pretty much as a hobby), I also like to look at alternative axiomatizations of set theory, such as NFU, and some (very basic) category theory. I am also interested in the Philosophy of Mathematics and in Ludwig Wittgenstein’s life and work.
Recent and upcoming talks by David J. Fernández Bretón
David Fernández-Bretón: Algebraic Ramsey-theoretic results with small monochromatic sets
BIU seminar in Set Theory
November 5, 2018
Speaker: David J. Fernández Bretón (KGRC)
Title: Algebraic Ramsey-theoretic results with small monochromatic sets
Abstract: We will explore some (recent and not so recent; some positive,
some negative) Ramsey-type results (each of which is due to some subset
of the set {Komj\’ath, Hindman, Leader, H.S. continue reading…
David Fernández-Bretón: Finiteness classes arising from Ramsey-theoretic statements in set theory without choice
Talk held by David Fernández-Bretón (KGRC) at the KGRC seminar on 2018-10-04. The recorded talk is available here.
Abstract: In the absence of the Axiom of Choice, there may be infinite sets for which certain Ramsey-theoretic statements – such as Ramsey’s or (appropriately phrased) Hindman’s theorem – fail. continue reading…
Joshua Brot, Mengyang Cao, David J. Fernández-Bretón: Finiteness classes arising from Ramsey-theoretic statements in set theory without choice
Thursday, June 14, 2018, from 4 to 5:30pm
East Hall, room 4096
Speaker: Joshua Brot, Mengyang Cao, David J. Fernández-Bretón (University of Michigan)
Title: Finiteness classes arising from Ramsey-theoretic statements in set theory without choice
Abstract:
We investigate infinite sets that witness the failure of certain Ramsey-theoretic statements, such as Ramsey’s or (appropriately phrased) Hindman’s theorem; such sets may exist if one does not assume the Axiom of Choice. continue reading…
David Fernández-Bretón: Variations and analogs of Hindman’s theorem
Mathematical logic seminar – May 22 2018
Time: 3:30pm – 4:30 pm
Room: Wean Hall 8220
Speaker: David Fernández-Bretón
Department of Mathematics
University of Michigan
Title: Variations and analogs of Hindman’s theorem
Abstract:
Hindman’s theorem is a Ramsey-theoretic result asserting that, whenever one colours the set of natural numbers with finitely many colours, there will be an infinite set such that all numbers that can be obtained by adding finitely many elements from the set (no repetitions allowed) have the same colour. continue reading…
David Fernandez Breton: Partition theorems on uncountable abelian groups
Place: Fields Institute (Room 210)
Date: April 27, 2018 (13:30-15:00)
Speaker: David Fernandez Breton
Title: Partition theorems on uncountable abelian groups
Abstract:
In the past two years, a number of Ramsey-theoretic results concerning the additive structure of uncountable abelian groups have been investigated by diverse subsets of the set {Komjáth, Rinot, D. continue reading…
David J. Fernández Bretón: Models of set theory with union ultrafilters and small covering of meagre, II
Thursday, March 15, 2018, from 4 to 5:30pm
East Hall, room 3088
Speaker: David J. Fernández Bretón (University of Michigan)
Title: Models of set theory with union ultrafilters and small covering of meagre, II
Abstract:
Union ultrafilters are ultrafilters that arise naturally from Hindman’s finite unions theorem, in much the same way that selective ultrafilters arise from Ramsey’s theorem, and they are very important objects from the perspective of algebra in the Cech–Stone compactification. continue reading…

David J. Fernández Bretón: More Ramsey-theoretic statements: uncountably many colours, finite monochromatic sets
Thursday, December 7, 2017, from 4 to 5:30pm
East Hall, room 3096
Speaker: David J. Fernández Bretón (University of Michigan)
Title: More Ramsey-theoretic statements: uncountably many colours, finite monochromatic sets
Abstract:
Hindman’s theorem states that for every colouring of an infinite abelian group with finitely many colours, there will be an infinite set whose finite sums are monochromatic. continue reading…
