THE FIELDS INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH IN MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES

Sunday March 29- Thursday April 2, 2015
Forcing and its Applications
Retrospective Workshop

Fields Institute 222 College St. Toronto

Organizing Committee:
Justin Moore, Stevo Todorcevic

OVERVIEW

The Fall 2012 thematic program at the Fields Institute on Forcing and its Applications witnessed breakthroughs in both the internal study of set theory as well as its applications to fields such as analysis and the general theory of topological groups. This workshop will bring together experts studying different aspects of set theory related to the program --- large cardinals, singular cardinals, infinite combinatorics, and forcing axioms --- as well as closely related fields of mathematics such as functional analysis and topolog
