the Monday seminar talk to do some background on the topic and some
lemmas that will go into the proofs in Tuesday's talk. There will be
(I hope) some theorems of interest to see on both days, and both on
the general topic of answering the following question: What do you
need to know about a strongly minimal theory in order to compute
copies of all of its countable models. I'll start with a definition
for strongly minimal theories and build up from there.

Title: Finding Definable Sets in Continuous Logic
Mariya Soskova will call for volunteers to sign up for presentations.


Abstract: In order to be useful the notion of a 'definable set' in
Sapir Ben-Shahar will wrap up Section 5.1
continuous logic is stricter than a naive comparison to discrete logic
would suggest. As a consequence, even in relatively tame theories
there can be very few definable sets. For example, there is a
superstable theory with no non-trivial definable sets. As we'll see,
however, there are many definable sets in omega-stable,
omega-categorical, and other small theories.

Abstract: Although a given forcing notion may have nice properties on

its own, those properties might vanish when we apply it repeatedly.
Early preservation results (that is, theorems saying that the
iteration of forcings with a nice property retains that nice property)
were fairly limited, and things really got off the ground with
Shelah's invention of "proper forcing." Roughly speaking, a forcing is
proper if it can be approximated by elementary submodels of the
universe in a particularly nice way. I'll define proper forcing and
sketch some applications.

Title: Convexly Orderable Groups
'''Abstract:''' A longstanding question in degree theory has been whether every minimal Turing degree has a strong minimal cover. Meanwhile a strong example of degrees without SMC's are those which have the cupping property. It is known that PA degrees have the cupping property, as do degrees with a certain amount of escaping power. On the other hand, it is known that being weak in the sense of being non DNC and Hyperimmune-free lets you have a SMC. Degrees with the cupping property are closed upwards while it is not known if degrees with SMC are closed downwards.  It is also not known if every degree either has the cupping property or a SMC. In this talk we will review several of these results and present techniques used to build SMCs.

Title: Characterizing Finite Nilpotent Groups via Word Maps
'''Abstract:'''  The spectrum of a strongly minimal theory characterizes which of its countable models have computable copies (indexed by their dimensions). We will focus on the disintegrated strongly minimal theories, i.e., where the algebraic closure of a set is the union of the algebraic closures of the elements of the set.


Abstract: In this talk, we will examine a novel characterization of finite
Somewhere in the late aughts, Alice Medvedev and I proved that if a theory is disintegrated strongly minimal and has a finite signature, then either all models are computable, no models are computable, or only the prime model is computable. Steffen Lempp and I tried to push this sort of analysis past finite signatures and we have results about theories which are disintegrated strongly minimal and every symbol in the (infinite) signature has rank less than or equal to 1 in the theory (i.e., you cannot have R(a,b,\bar{z}) if a and b are algebraically independent). Over this past winter break, I found a strategy to bring (some of) this analysis to strongly minimal theories in infinite languages as long as there is some finite N so that every symbol has rank less than or equal to N. I'll describe this strategy, and depending on time, I might even present something that loosely resembles a proof.

Title: What can we say about sets made by the union of Turing equivalence classes?
=== '''March 17 -  Yiqing Wang''' ===


Abstract: It is well known that given a real number x (in the real line) the set of all reals that have the same Turing degree (we will call this a Turing equivalence class) have order type 'the rationals' and that, unless x is computable, the set is not a subfield of the reals. Nevertheless, what can we say about the order type or the algebraic structure of a set made by the uncountable union of Turing equivalence classes?
'''Title:''' The compactness theorem is overrated


This topic hasn't been deeply studied. In this talk I will focus principally on famous order types and answer whether they can be achieved or not. Furthermore, I will explain some possible connections with the automorphism problem of the Turing degrees.
'''Abstract:''' Elementary classes, or first-order logic in general, are limited in their ability to capture many natural mathematical classes, such as locally finite groups and Archimedean ordered fields. Conversely, obtaining meaningful results in the generality of non-elementary classes can be impossible. In 1978, Shelah introduced the notion of Abstract Elementary Classes (AECs), providing a framework for studying classes that are not first-order axiomatizable yet still possess rich model-theoretic properties and carry the same 'test question'.  


This is a work in progress, so this talk will have multiple open questions and opportunities for feedback and public participation (hopefully).
In this talk, I will try to give an overview of AECs, prove Shelah’s Presentation Theorem, and highlight some open problems in this area.

'''Title:''' Monadic definability and Matroids


Title:  
'''Abstract:''' Matroids are combinatorial structures that generalise the idea of (in)dependence, such as linear independence of vectors in vector spaces over some field. Matroids arise in a number of different contexts, including from vectors in vector spaces, graphs, points in a geometry, as models of strongly minimal theories, in combinatorial optimization problems, in phylogenetic trees, and many more. This talk will focus on gain-graphic matroids, which are matroids that arise from group-labeled graphs. Gain-graphic matroids are important in the study of structural matroid theory. It turns out that for ``nice enough" classes of matroids, properties that are definable in monadic second-order logic can be recognized in polynomial time. Whether a class of gain-graphic matroids is definable or not depends on which group is chosen to label the graphs. I'll start with a brief introduction to matroids and monadic second order logic, and then describe recent progress on the definability question for gain-graphic matroids.

Title: On the spectra of computable models of disintegrated strongly minimal theories with bounded ranks

Abstract: The spectrum of a strongly minimal theory characterizes which of its countable models have computable copies (indexed by their dimensions). We will focus on the disintegrated strongly minimal theories, i.e., where the algebraic closure of a set is the union of the algebraic closures of the elements of the set.

Somewhere in the late aughts, Alice Medvedev and I proved that if a theory is disintegrated strongly minimal and has a finite signature, then either all models are computable, no models are computable, or only the prime model is computable. Steffen Lempp and I tried to push this sort of analysis past finite signatures and we have results about theories which are disintegrated strongly minimal and every symbol in the (infinite) signature has rank less than or equal to 1 in the theory (i.e., you cannot have R(a,b,\bar{z}) if a and b are algebraically independent).
