## Special Session

October 22, 2018

Two pictures from last weekend’s Session.

We rescued this one from Instagram a couple of minutes after it happened (Paul noticed that #determinacy was missing from the list):

And a decent group picture. Missing: Maryanthe Malliaris (who took it), Harry Altman and Jeffrey Bergfalk:

Many thanks to all the participants, and to the AMS for making it possible.

## Professorship in Logic at the University of Vienna

February 4, 2018

I have been asked to help spread the word. Sy Friedman, the head of the Kurt Gödel Research Center at the University of Vienna (where I had my first postdoc), is retiring, and there is a search underway for a replacement. The KGRC has been significant in fostering a multitude of early career researchers in set theory, and it would be a shame if the position ended up in another discipline.

If you are interested, please consider applying. If you know of someone who may be interested, please help spread the word. The deadline is April 15.

From the link, the position is for a “University Professor of Mathematical Logic Taking into Account the Foundations of Computer Science”. Applications should be submitted by e-mail to the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Christian Krattenthaler, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna (dekanat.mathematik@univie.ac.at). Further details are at the link.

## Set theory, logic and Ramsey theory

October 16, 2017

José G. Mijares and I are organizing a special session at the 2018 Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego, cosponsored by the AMS and the ASL, on Set theory, logic and Ramsey theory. The session will take place the morning of Wednesday January 10 and the morning and afternoon of Thursday January 11. See here for the schedule and additional details. I transcribe the schedule below:

## Monica Agana – The classical theory of rearrangements

July 16, 2017

Monica was my last masters student at Boise State, completing her thesis in December 2015, while I was already at Mathematical Reviews. My colleague at Boise State Zach Teitler coadvised her for the last few months. The following picture is from graduation day.

Monica

Monica’s thesis, The classical theory of rearrangements, discusses Riemann’s famous rearrangement theorem for conditionally convergent series of real numbers, prior results, and some extensions and related topics. This previous blog post discusses some of these.

I ran last night into the Flickr page for this conference essentially by accident. Couldn’t find who to credit for this picture.
