Title: Provably Total NP Search Problems of Bounded Arithmetic and beyond
Abstract:
Bounded Arithmetic forms a collection of weak theories of
Arithmetic related to complexity classes of functions like the
Polynomial Time
Hierarchy. Many connections between Bounded Arithmetic and important
questions about complexity classes have already been established.
Recent
research considers total NP search problems in the context of Bounded
Arithmetic. Total NP search problems have been studied by
Papadimitriou et al
as a means to characterise the complexity of natural search problems
which
cannot be analysed as decision problems.
In my talk I will review the research programme of characterising
the provably
total NP search problems in Bounded Arithmetic, and explain why it is
important for current research questions in the area. I will
describe recent
results about the provably total NP search problems of a Bounded
Arithmetic
theories related to PSPACE and EXPTIME reasoning. I will also
describe this
program for theories beyond Bounded Arithmetic like Peano
arithmetic, and what
impact this might have on Complexity Theory.

CFP: Eleventh International Workshop on Juris-informatics (JURISIN 2017)
homepage: http://research.nii.ac.jp/~ksatoh/jurisin2017
****************************************************
The submission deadline is extended to 6 September.
****************************************************
** Workshop dates
November 14 - 15, 2017
** Venue
Tokyo Campus, University of Tsukuba, Tokyo, Japan
http://www.tsukuba.ac.jp/en/access/tokyocampus-access
** Important Dates
Submission Deadline: September 6, 2017
Notification: October 6, 2017
Camera-ready due: October 13, 2017
** Aims and Scope
Juris-informatics is a new research area which studies legal issues from the
perspective of informatics. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss both
the fundamental and practical issues among people from the various
backgrounds such as law, social science, information and intelligent
technology, logic and philosophy, including the conventional "AI and law"
area. We solicit unpublished papers on theories, technologies and
applications on juris-informatics.
** Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Model of legal reasoning
Argumentation / Negotiation / Argumentation agent
Legal term ontology
Formal legal knowledge-base / Intelligent management of legal
knowledge-base
Translation of legal documents
Information retrieval of legal texts
Computer-aided law education
Use of Informatics and AI in law
Legal issues on applications of robotics and AI to society
Social implications of use of informatics and AI in law
Natural language processing for legal knowledge
Verification and validation of legal knowledge systems
Any theories and technologies which is not directly related with
juris-informatics but has a potential to contribute to this domain
** Invited Speakers
Kevin D. Ashley (University of Pittsburgh)
Katsumi Nitta (Tokyo Institute of Technology)
** Submissions
We welcome and encourage the submission of high quality, original papers, which are not simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere except as a submission to JURIX 2017 (The 28th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems). The double submission policy with JURIX 2017 is as follows:
Papers being submitted both to JURISIN2017 and JURIX2017 must note this on the title page.
A paper to be presented at JURISIN2017 must be withdrawn from JURIX2017 and vice versa according to the choice by the authors.
If the authors do not follow this double submission policy, the paper by the authors will not be included in the proceedings of JURISIN 2017.
Papers should be written in English, formatted according to the Springer
Verlag LNCS style in a pdf form, which can be obtained from
http://www.springeronline.com and not exceed 14 pages including figures,
references, etc. If you use a word file, please follow the instruction of
the format, and then convert it into a pdf form and submit it at the paper
submission page. If a paper is accepted, at least one author of the paper
must register the workshop and present it. We strongly encourage an online
registration.
You can submit your paper at
"https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jurisin2017". If you cannot submit
a paper by EasyChair System by some trouble, please send email to
"ksatoh[at]nii.ac.jp"
** Post Proceedings
Selected papers will be published as a post-proceedings via Springer Verlag
LNAI series after the second round of review after the workshop.

題目 Uncountable free abelian groups via admissible computability
概要 One way to study structures of uncountable cardinality κ is to generalize the notion of computation. Saying that a subset of κ is κ-c.e. if it is Σ^0_1 definable (with parameters, in the language of set theory) over L_κ provides the notion of κ-computability. We may also quantify over subsets of L_κ, providing a notion of a κ-analytic set (here we assume V=L). In this setting, we consider the difficulty of recognizing free groups and the complexity of their bases. For example, if κ is a successor cardinal, the set of free abelian groups of size κ is Σ^1_1-complete. The resolution of questions of this type is more complex for other κ, and a few questions remain open. This is joint work with Greenberg and Turetsky.
