“R.i.c.e. relations”

This week we start chapter 2 and introduce some Relatively intrinsic notions. Basically we discuss R.i.c.e. (relatively intrinsic computably enumerable) relations and give some examples. Our goal is to prove a characterization theorem for R.i.c.e. relations.

“The Schafke-Singer theorem, I.”

We give an overview of a recent result of Schafke and Singer on power series that are well- behaved with respect to two ”orthogonal” operators. We discuss possible extensions of this to other complete local rings and approaches for obtaining these extensions.
