Topic Seminar: Forking
Abstract: We will have a research seminar this semester on forking, broadly construed, particularly in the setting of unstable first-order theories.
Graduate students are particularly encouraged to attend.
We will aim to finish proving Kim’s lemma for dividing, the equivalence of forking and dividing, and the symmetry of forking-independence, all over models in simple theories. The goal will be to encourage a graduate student to speak, continuing the discussion from the previous meeting.
