Joint Math 6720 and Logic Seminar
Thursday, 1/15/2015, 8:45pm - 11:59pm
Speaker: Professor Rumen Dimitrov, Western Illinois University
Title: Standard and Nonstandard Ways of Constructing Nonstandard Structures
Abstract:
In this talk we will start with some standard ways of obtaining nonstandard structures. We will then introduce the notion of cohesive power B of a computable structure A (see [1]) over a cohesive set R. We will prove certain connections between satisfaction of different formulas and sentences in the original model A and its cohesive power B.

Title: The Adiabatic Theorem in Quantum Mechanics and Geometric Phase
Abstract: After briefly discussing the general solution to the time independent Shrodinger wave equation, I will introduce the Adiabatic Theorem which is an underlying phenomenon in quantum mechanics involved in topological quantum computing. The Adiabatic theorem states that if we alter a Hamiltonian gradually from some initial form H^i to a final form
