Download or read book The Higher Infinite written by Akihiro Kanamori and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the softcover reprint of the very popular hardcover edition. The theory of large cardinals is currently a broad mainstream of modern set theory, the main area of investigation for the analysis of the relative consistency of mathematical propositions and possible new axioms for mathematics. The first of a projected multi-volume series, this book provides a comprehensive account of the theory of large cardinals from its beginnings and some of the direct outgrowths leading to the frontiers of contemporary research. A a oegenetica approach is taken, presenting the subject in the context of its historical development. With hindsight the consequential avenues are pursued and the most elegant or accessible expositions given. With open questions and speculations provided throughout the reader should not only come to appreciate the scope and coherence of the overall enterprise but also become prepared to pursue research in several specific areas by studying the relevant sections.

Download or read book Sets and Extensions in the Twentieth Century written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-01-24 with total page 878 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set theory is an autonomous and sophisticated field of mathematics that is extremely successful at analyzing mathematical propositions and gauging their consistency strength. It is as a field of mathematics that both proceeds with its own internal questions and is capable of contextualizing over a broad range, which makes set theory an intriguing and highly distinctive subject. This handbook covers the rich history of scientific turning points in set theory, providing fresh insights and points of view. Written by leading researchers in the field, both this volume and the Handbook as a whole are definitive reference tools for senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in mathematics, the history of philosophy, and any discipline such as computer science, cognitive psychology, and artificial intelligence, for whom the historical background of his or her work is a salient consideration Serves as a singular contribution to the intellectual history of the 20th century Contains the latest scholarly discoveries and interpretative insights

Download or read book Classical and New Paradigms of Computation and their Complexity Hierarchies written by Benedikt Löwe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-04 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of complexity is an important contribution of logic to theoretical computer science and mathematics. This volume attempts to approach complexity in a holistic way, investigating mathematical properties of complexity hierarchies at the same time as discussing algorithms and computational properties. A main focus of the volume is on some of the new paradigms of computation, among them Quantum Computing and Infinitary Computation. The papers in the volume are tied together by an introductory article describing abstract properties of complexity hierarchies. This volume will be of great interest to both mathematical logicians and theoretical computer scientists, providing them with new insights into the various views of complexity and thus shedding new light on their own research.
Download or read book Truth in Mathematics written by Harold G. Dales and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of truth in mathematics has exercised the minds of thinkers from at least the time of the ancient Greeks. The great advances in mathematics and philosophy in the twentieth century and in particular the work by G]odel and the development of the notion of independence in mathematics have led to new and complex views on this question. Collecting the work of a number of outstanding mathematicians and philosophers, including Yurii Manin, Vaughan Jones, and Per Martin-L]of, this volume provides an overview of the forefront of current thinking and a valuable introduction for researchers in the area.
Download or read book Lectures on Infinitary Model Theory written by David Marker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infinitary logic, the logic of languages with infinitely long conjunctions, plays an important role in model theory, recursion theory and descriptive set theory. This book is the first modern introduction to the subject in forty years, and will bring students and researchers in all areas of mathematical logic up to the threshold of modern research. The classical topics of back-and-forth systems, model existence techniques, indiscernibles and end extensions are covered before more modern topics are surveyed. Zilber's categoricity theorem for quasiminimal excellent classes is proved and an application is given to covers of multiplicative groups. Infinitary methods are also used to study uncountable models of counterexamples to Vaught's conjecture, and effective aspects of infinitary model theory are reviewed, including an introduction to Montalbán's recent work on spectra of Vaught counterexamples. Self-contained introductions to effective descriptive set theory and hyperarithmetic theory are provided, as is an appendix on admissible model theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their inception, the Perspectives in Logic and Lecture Notes in Logic series have published seminal works by leading logicians. Many of the original books in the series have been unavailable for years, but they are now in print once again. This volume, the twentieth publication in the Lecture Notes in Logic series, contains the proceedings of the 2001 European Summer Meeting of the Association for Symbolic Logic, held at the Vienna University of Technology. Two long articles present accessible expositions on resolution theorem proving and the determinacy of long games. The remaining articles cover separate research topics in many areas of mathematical logic, including applications in computer science, proof theory, set theory, model theory, computability theory, linguistics and aspects of philosophy. This collection will interest not only mathematical logicians but also philosophical logicians, historians of logic, computer scientists, formal linguists and mathematicians working in algebra, abstract analysis and topology.
