The second week (Aug 12 - Aug 16):

Gabriel Goldberg: The Ultrapower Axiom.

Room: 3109

Hours:

• Lecture 1: 9:15 - 10:30 (GMT+8)
• Lecture 2: 11:00 - 12:15 (GMT+8)
• Section: 15:00 - 17:00 (GMT+8)

一阶算术的片段和模型

本课程要求听众预先掌握以下基础知识: 一阶逻辑的完全性定理, 紧致性定理, 初等子模型的概念和判别初等子模型的 Tarski 准则, Lowenheim-Skolem 定理, Skolem 函数和 Skolem 闭包, 型 (type) 的概念, 哥德尔不完全性定理. 掌握上述定理意味着掌握它们的证明.

一阶算术的模型是一种类似 $(\mathbb{N},0,1,+,\times,<)$ 的数学结构. 通常我们期望这些数学结构满足一阶形式的皮亚诺算术公理 (简称 PA) 或其片段, 这时便可借助它们用数学方法研究数学的语言. 本课程计划先讨论一阶算术模型的内部结构、子结构, 再介绍构造新模型的方法, 然后介绍 PA 的一些片段以及如何用几种构造子模型或扩张的方法研究这些片段之间的关系. 如果时间允许, 我们将介绍 PA 的片段与组合数学的联系.

The Ultrapower Axiom

This course will serve as an introduction to the theory of large cardinals and their inner models, the key concepts in the study of the consistency strength hierarchy beyond Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. We begin with the theory of measurable, strongly compact, and supercompact cardinals. We then turn to the inner model theory of measurable cardinals and the problem of building inner models with larger cardinals. Finally, we discuss the Ultrapower Axiom and the prospects for an inner model with supercompact cardinals.

We assume the student is familiar with basic model theory, especially elementary embeddings and the ultraproduct construction. We also assume the following concepts from set theory: ordinals, cardinals, cofinalities, cardinal arithmetic, stationary sets, and the constructible universe.
