 | | Topics to be chosen from model theory and its applications, infinitary logic and admissible sets, ordinary and generalized recursion theory, consistency and independence results in set theory, large cardinals, descriptive set theory. |
 | | The theory of algebraic curves is a central branch of mathematics, having relations to fields as diverse as complex analysis, number theory, combinatorics, codes, topology, representation theory, and physics. |
 | | Topics will include time-reversal invariance; definition of unitary, symplectic, and orthogonal ensembles of random matrices; unitary ensembles and orthogonal polynomials; the joint probability density function for the eigenvalues, gap probabilities, n-point correlation functions, the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution; Riemann-Hilbert problems and the Riemann-Hilbert approach to universality of distributions in random matrix theory. |
