"Effectively defining formulas in Robinson's Arithmetic"
It was proven by Alfred Tarski that all general recursive functions are definable in Robinson's Arithmetic. I will give his proof of this fact with supplementary information on how to make the process of finding the defining formula effective.

"Fixed point theorem for trees"
Brett and Matt talked about $V_0$ and $V_\infty$, two different subtrees of the Berkovich plane. All of these are rooted trees. I will either talk about potential theory on trees, or the theorem that every tree map admits a fixed point.
