MC 5403
Tomer Zimhoni, Ben Gurion University
"Random Permutations from Free Products"
Talk #1 (1:00-2:30pm)
Ruxandra Moraru, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo
"Hitchin pairs on higher-dimensional manifolds"
Moshe Kamensky, Ben-Gurion University
"Higher internal covers"
In model theory, internality is a relationship between definable sets that entails the existence of a definable Galois group, with definable Galois correspondence. It can be formulated as an equivalence between certain expansion of a theory T (internal covers) and groupoids definable in that theory. I will describe a partial generalisation of this correspondence to higher dimensions.

Talk #1 (1:00pm–2:30pm)
Paul Cusson
"When is a closed parallelizable manifold a homogeneous space?"

Notions of Complexity Within Computable Structure Theory
