Particularly encouraging is the fact that many unusually talented young people have re cently entered the subject, who have established r emarkable results concerning the Proper Forcing Ax iom and its variants, the Singular Cardinal Hypoth esis, subtle properties of stationary sets, and im portant aspects of applied set theory, including t opological dynamics, Borel equivalence relations a nd metric geometry. Our two-week workshop, which will be open to the set theory community at large , will focus around two principal themes: Large Ca rdinals and Descriptive Set Theory.
