=================================================== TOPOLOGY, ALGEBRA AND CATEGORIES IN LOGIC (TACL 2022) First announcement ===================================================

Conference: June 20-24, 2022 in Coimbra School: June 13-18, 2022 in Praia de Mira

https://www.mat.uc.pt/~tacl2022 https://www.mat.uc.pt/~tacl2022

Organized by the Centre for Mathematics (CMUC) and the Department of Mathematics (DMUC) of the University of Coimbra

Scope -------- Studying logic via semantics is a well-established and very active branch of mathematical logic with many applications in computer science and elsewhere. The area is characterized by results, tools and techniques stemming from various fields, including universal algebra, topology, category theory, order, and model theory. The programme of the conference TACL 2022 will focus on three interconnecting mathematical themes central to the semantic study of logic and their applications: topological, algebraic, and categorical methods.

TACL 2022 is the tenth conference in the series Topology, Algebra and Categories in Logic (TACL, formerly TANCL). Earlier instalments of this conference have been organized in Tbilisi (2003), Barcelona (2005), Oxford (2007), Amsterdam (2009), Marseille (2011), Nashville (2013), Ischia (2015), Prague (2017), and Nice (2019).

Featured topics --------------------- Contributed talks are intended to be about topological, algebraic or categorical methods used in mathematical or computer science logic. This includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

* Algebraic logic * Algebraic structures in CS * Categorical methods in logic * Coalgebra * Domain theory * Fuzzy and many-valued logics * Lattice theory * Lattices with operators * Modal logics * Non-classical logics * Ordered algebraic structures * Ordered topological spaces * Pointfree topology * Proofs and types * Residuated structures * Semantics * Stone-type dualities * Substructural logics * Topological semantics of modal logic
