DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20101115 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20110221 DESCRIPTION:On November 15, 2010, Leo Esakia died rather unexpectedly in Tbilisi at the age of 76 ye ars. He was one of the important logicians, mainly working in algebraic logic. His name will live on in his Esakia spaces, ordered topological spaces that play a fundamental role in the theory of Heyt ing Algebras by the Esakia duality between the cat egories of these spaces and algebras, and in many other theorems and concepts. By his knowledge, energy and enthousiasm he was a source of inspirat ion to a large number of students, among which Gur am and Nick Bezhanishvili, and David Gabelaia. Thr ough these students he had important connections w ith the ILLC, and he himself was always involved i n the organization of the 2-yearly Tbilisi Symposi a in which the ILLC joins the Georgian logicians a nd linguists. [The last of these Symposia, in 2009 , was dedicated to his 75th and Dick de Jongh's 70 th birthday.] Leo Esakia was continuously working with his students on new problems, he gave a long lecture to them only last week.
