Toronto Graduate Student Set Theory Seminar


The grad student seminar used to meet Wednesdays 2:30(sharp)-4 in Bahen 3116. At the moment it meets on Mondays, 5:00-6:30pm but this is subject to change. Bahen is the building in back of Fields. The intent of the seminar is mainly to go through material in books and papers that either a) all set theory grad students should know, but is not found in regularly offered courses, or b) particular students should know for their research and is interesting to other students. The pace is intended to be slower than in the Friday seminar and questions are expected. One graduate course in set theory is assumed: students should have a minimal acquaintance with forcing and elementary submodels. If your background is weak, I recommend Kunen's book or Baumgartner's article, "Iterated forcing" for the former, and Chapter 24 of Just-Weese, v. II for the latter. The intention is to have references provided by the speaker, and notes provided either by the speaker or by a designated notetaker.
