“Bases for ML-Randomness - Part 2”
We briefly discuss the construction presented last time, which proves that each base for ML-randomness is low for K, and then verify that the construction works as claimed. We then use this result to prove an important corollary. Time permitting, we begin a discussion about lowness pairs.

“Representations of multiplier algebras of Nevanlinna-Pick spaces”
Nevanlinna-Pick spaces are Hilbert function spaces which mirror some of the fine structure of the classical Hardy space on the unit disc. Their multiplier algebras are an important class of non self-adjoint operator algebras of functions.

“My favorite number”
The number 24 plays a central role in mathematics thanks to a series of ”coincidences” that is just beginning to be understood. One of the first hints of this fact was Euler’s bizarre ”proof” that
1+2+3+4+... =-1/12
