"Endoscopic classification of automorphic representations on classical groups"
The recent work of Arthur on classification of automorphic
representations on classical groups is a landmark result in the Langlands'
program. In this talk we will try to indicate the nature of the
classification and the tools that are used in the proof.
Refreshments will be served in MC 5046 at 3:30.

"Introduction to the seminar"
This is the first, introductory lecture to a learning seminar on discrete
homotopies for binary reflexive digraphs and their application to finite
relational structures. In this lecture I will briefly overview the idea
of homotopy, state Taylor's theorem (that the existence of continuous

"Two problems at the intersection of universal algebra and logic"
Universal algebra has its roots in logic, and occasionally its problems approach the domain of logic. In this lecture I will explain two old open problems of this kind, both involving (incomplete) theories axiomatizable by equations.
Please note the time - regular time for Logic seminars will be 3:30pm.
