13 | Andrés Villaveces (Bogotá): Model theory and modular invariants | ||
14 | |||
15 | (% style="margin-left: 30.0px;" %) | ||
16 | Abstract: the model theory of the classical j invariant has been studied by A. Harris: he has isolated geometrical conditions that make a categoricity analysis in the style of Zilber possible. At the same time, I have worked in quantum variants of the j invariant together with T. Gendron: we have isolated various sheaf constructions that allow calculations of versions of the j invariant for reals. This uses non-standard analysis, combined with a little logic of sheaves. I plan to provide a panorama of these works (Harris, and my joint work with Gendron) on j invariants. | ||

52 | Andy Arana (Urbana): Purity and content | ||
53 | |||
54 | (% style="margin-left: 30.0px;" %) | ||
55 | Abstract: Roughly, a solution to a problem, or a proof of a theorem, is pure if it draws only on what is 'close' or 'intrinsic' to that problem or theorem. On one precisification of purity that we have called 'topical purity', closeness of theorem and proof is to be measured in terms of content. In brief, a proof is topically pure if it draws only on what belongs to the content of the theorem it is proving, i.e. on what must be grasped in order to understand that theorem. But how is this 'belonging' determined? In this talk I consider this question in light of examples from number theory (prime number theorem), logic (Gödel's incompleteness theorems), and geometry (Desargues' theorem). Each case considers theorems whose content may be understood in multiple ways: the prime number theorem as a result of elementary arithmetic or of analysis; the incompleteness theorems as a result of arithmetic or set theory; and Desargues' theorem as a result of plane projective or spatial projective geometry. Negotiating these different ways of identifying a theorem's content is crucial for making sense of purity, yet there is at present no systematic way to do so. I will discuss this as a problem for investigation going forward. | ||
