13 May 2014, Logic Tea, Zhenhao Li

Speaker: Zhenhao Li
Title: Structures that permit minimal Turing degrees
Date: Tuesday 13 May 2014
Time: 17:00-18:00
Location: Room F1.15, Science Park 107, Amsterdam

Abstract

I will talk on a problem that I worked on but did not fully solve in 2013 when I was visiting Berkeley.
The goal of the talk is to give the backgrounds and the motivations of the problem, present my results on this problem, and to encourage ambitious master students and early stage PhD students at the ILLC to work on this beautiful problem.
I will assume only a basic understanding of relative computability and Turing degree from the audience.

The problem is to characterize those countable structures, e.g., the countable dense linear ordering without endpoints, which have representations (in the Cantor space) having minimal Turing degrees.
Note that for each signature (of a structure) we can fix a Gödel's arithmeticalization to talk about representations in the Cantor space of structures having that signature.
