Logic Seminar
Scott Mutchnik
UIC
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 discuss Dobrowolski, Kim and Ramsey's question of whether every NSOP_1 theory has the existence axiom, and the recent example, answering this question, of an NSOP_1 theory without the existence axiom. We will then discuss problems for further collaboration.
