Title: Reduction games over $\mathrm{RCA}_0$
While you are welcome (and encouraged) to present on a topic of your own choice, there is also a "suggested reading" so that you can also read and present on a (small) section of it.


Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss joint work with Damir D. Dzhafarov and Denis R. Hirschfeldt. Our work centers on the characterization of problems P and Q such that P $\leq_{\omega}$ Q, as well as problems P and Q such that $\mathrm{RCA}_0 \vdash$ Q $\to$ P, in terms of winning strategies in certain games. These characterizations were originally introduced by Hirschfeldt and Jockusch. I will discuss extensions and generalizations of these characterizations, including a certain notion of compactness that allows us, for strategies satisfying particular conditions, to bound the number of moves it takes to win. This bound is independent of the instance of the problem P being considered. This allows us to develop the idea of Weihrauch and generalized Weihrauch reduction over some base theory. Here, we will focus on the base theory $\mathrm{RCA}_0$. In this talk, I will explore these notions of reduction among various principles, including bounding and induction principles.

The Graduate Logic Seminar is an informal space where graduate students and professors present topics related to logic which are not necessarily original or completed work. This is a space focused principally on practicing presentation skills or learning materials that are not usually presented in a class.

The talk schedule is arranged at the beginning of each semester. If you would like to participate, please contact one of the organizers.

Fall 2023

The seminar will be run as a 1-credit seminar Math 975 in Fall 2023. If you are not enrolled but would like to audit it, please contact Uri Andrews and Hongyu Zhu.

While you are welcome (and encouraged) to present on a topic of your own choice, there is also a "suggested reading" so that you can also read and present on a (small) section of it.

Suggested reading:

September 11 - Organizational Meeting

We will meet to assign speakers to dates.
