Logic Seminar

Bradd Hart, University of McMaster

"Logical unification"

I will talk on preliminary work on the role of [0,1]-valued
logic in unifying the growing number of first order logics. In
particular, elementary classes in [0,1]-valued logic are CATs in the
sense of Ben Yaacov and the class of von Neumann algebras with faithful
actions on Hilbert spaces form an elementary class.

Pure Math Graduate Student Colloquium

Satish Pandey, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"The Dinitz Problem and Five-Colouring Plane Graphs"

G. H. Hardy firmly believed that there is no permanent place for ugly Mathematics. Following his dictum, Paul Erdos liked to talk about "The Book" in which God maintains the perfect proofs for mathematical theorems. This talk is an attempt to explore Erdos'  idea of perfect proofs, and the territory we choose to explore is graph theory.
