DDC: Computability Theory (Fall 2020)

DDC Computability Theory

Alternating Thursdays and Fridays at 9:00am Pacific Time
Organizer: Valentina Harizanov

Hilbert’s Tenth Problem was the only decision problem among his twenty-three problems. Precise mathematical theory of (in)computability and its interaction with number theory led to the negative solution of the problem. The seminar will focus on modern topics on computability-theoretic phenomena in number-theoretic and other algebraic and model-theoretic structures.
