題目:A classification of the natural many-one degrees
アブストラクト:
A common phenomenon in mathematics is that naturally-occurring objects behave better than general objects. This is definitely the case of the many-one degrees within Computability Theory. Our theorem, in a sense, completely classifies the natural many-one degrees and sets them apart from the non-natural ones. The theorem is a version of the uniform Martin's conjecture, but for the case of the many-one degrees.
講演終了後に夕食会を予定しています.夕食会にご参加いただける方は木原貴行 kihara(a)i.nagoya-u.ac.jp <mailto:[email protected]> までご一報お願い致します.

About LFCS.
The LFCS series provides an outlet for the fast-growing body of work in
the logical foundations of computer science, e.g., areas of fundamental
theoretical logic related to computer science. The LFCS series began
with Logic at Botik, Pereslavl-Zalessky, 1989 and was co-organized by
Albert R. Meyer (MIT) and Michael Taitslin (Tver), after which
organization passed to Anil Nerode in 1992. LFCS has enjoyed support and
endorsements from a number of bodies, including the US National Science
Foundation (NSF) and the City University of New York Research Foundation.

Title: The Graph Minor Theorem: a walk on the wild side of graphs
Abstract: The Graph Minor Theorem says that the collection of finite graphs
ordered by the minor relation is a well quasi order. This apparently
innocent statement hides a monstrous proof: the original result by
Robertson and Seymour is about 500 pages and twenty articles, in which a
new and deep branch of Graph Theory has been developed.
The theorem is famous and full of consequences both on the theoretical side
of Mathematics and in applications, e.g., to Computer Science. But there
is no concise proof available, although many attempts have been made.
In this talk, arising from one such failed attempts, an analysis of the
Graph Minor Theorem is presented. Why is it so hard?
Assuming to use the by-now standard Nash-Williams's approach to prove
it, we will
illustrate a number of methods which allow to solve or circumvent some
of the difficulties. Finally, we will show that the core of this line of
thought lies in a coherence question which is common to many parts of
Mathematics: elsewhere it has been solved, although we were unable to
adapt those solutions to the present framework. So, there is hope for a
short proof of the Graph Minor Theorem but it will not be elementary.

Title: Logic and Game Theory
Abstract:
In this presentation, I make conceptual connections between logic and game theory. First, I give a small introduction to each filed. Then, a Japanese comic story called “Konnyaku Mondo” is introduced to describe a basic problem on one’s understanding about the other person’s thought. The Konnyaku Mondo phenomena are often observed in our real lives. It is indicative of the distinction between a symbolic expression and its intended meaning; this is a very basic distinction in the modern logic. The story leads also to a new field in game theory called “Inductive Game Theory” that I and several collaborators have developed. Indeed, we construct a game theory example having the feature of the Konnyaku Mondo that two players are playing a game with mutual misunderstanding of the situation, but they cannot correct their mutual misunderstanding even after they have played the game several times.

Title: Explaining the Kruskal's Tree Theorem
Abstract: The famous Kruskal's tree theorem states that the collection
of finite trees labelled over a well quasi order and ordered by
homeomorphic embedding, forms a well quasi order. Its intended
mathematical meaning is that the collection of finite, connected and
acyclic graphs labelled over a well quasi order is a well quasi order
when it is ordered by the graph minor relation.
Oppositely, the standard proof(s) shows the property to hold for trees
in the Computer Science's sense together with an ad-hoc, inductive
notion of embedding. The mathematical result follows as a consequence
in a somewhat unsatisfactory way.
In this talk, a variant of the standard proof will be illustrated
explaining how the Computer Science and the graph-theoretical
statements are strictly coupled, thus explaining why the double
statement is justified and necessary.

Title: Arithmetic universes as generalized point-free spaces
Abstract:
Point-free topology in all its guises (e.g. locales, formal topology)
can be understood as presenting a space as a _logical theory_, for which
the points are the models and the opens are the formulae. The logic in
question is geometric logic, its connectives being finite conjunctions
and arbitrary disjunctions, and then the Lindenbaum algebra (formulae
modulo equivalence) for a theory T is a frame O[T], a complete lattice
with binary meet distributing over all joins. Locales are frames but
with the morphisms reversed.
Grothendieck proposed Grothendieck toposes as the generalized point-free
spaces got when one moves to the first-order form of geometric logic.
Then the opens (giving truth values for each point) are not enough, and
one must move to sheaves (giving sets for each point). The Lindenbaum
algebra now becomes a Grothendieck topos Set[T], the classifying topos
for T, constructed using presheaves with a pasting condition, and closed
under finite limits and arbitrary colimits in accordance with Giraud's
theorem. The topos Set[T] canonically represents the generalized space
of models of T.
Grothendieck used the category Set of classical sets, but we now know
that it can be replaced by any elementary topos S. This base will
determine the infinities available for "arbitrary" disjunctions, as well
as governing the construction of the classifier S[T]. However, for
theories in which all the disjunctions are countable (such as the formal
space of reals) it doesn't matter which S is used, as long as it has a
natural numbers object (nno). Thus the generalized space of models of T
is not absolutely fixed as a mathematical object.
In my talk I shall present the idea of using Joyal's _arithmetic
universes_ (AUs), pretoposes with parameterized list objects, as a
base-independent substitute for Grothendieck toposes in which countable
disjunctions are intrinsic to the logic rather than being supplied
extrinsically by a base S. In [1] I have defined a 2-category Con whose
objects ("contexts") serve as geometric theories that are sufficiently
countable in nature, and whose morphisms are the maps of models. In [2]
I showed how to use Con to prove results for Grothendieck toposes,
fibred over choice of base topos. Thus we start to see AUs providing a
free-standing foundations for a significant fragment of geometric logic
and Grothendieck toposes, independent of base S.

*Call for papers*
http://ccc2017.loria.fr/
CCC is a workshop series bringing together researchers from exact real
number computation, computable analysis, effective descriptive set
theory, constructive analysis, and related areas. The overall aim is to
apply logical methods in these disciplines to provide a sound foundation
for obtaining exact and provably correctalgorithms for computations with
real numbers and related analytical data, which are of increasing
importance in safety critical applications and scientific computation.
Previous workshops have been held in Cologne 2009, Trier 2012, Gregynog
2013, Ljubljana 2014, and Kochel 2015. The conference series has always
been linked with EU-funded international research projects, with
COMPUTAL (Computable Analysis) in the years 2012-2015 and now with CID
(Computing with Infinite Data), a research network between Europe,
Chile, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea,
and the USA. This conference is the first CID event, but is open to all
researchers in the area.
The workshop will take place in Nancy, France.
*Scope: *The workshop specifically invites contributions in the areas of
* Exact real number computation,
* Correctness of algorithms on infinite data,
* Computable analysis,
* Complexity of real numbers, real-valued functions, etc.
* Effective descriptive set theory
* Scott's domain theory,
* Constructive analysis,
* Category-theoretic approaches to computation on infinite data,
* Weihrauch degrees,
