Towards topological applications of Laver tables
Victoria Lebed, Advanced Mathematical Institute, Osaka City University, Japan
Tuesday, 1/21/2014, 10:00pm - 11:59pm
Abstract: Laver tables are certain finite shelves (i.e., sets endowed with a binary operation which is distributive with respect to itself). They originate from set theory and have a profound combinatorial structure. In this talk I will discuss our dreams regarding potential braid and knot invariant constructions using Laver tables, and also present some real results in this direction, such as a detailed description of 2- and 3-cocycles for Laver tables. The rich structure of the latter promises interesting topological applications.

The open problem regarding the automorphisms of L*(Q_inf)
Rumen Dimitrov, Western Illinois University
Tuesday, 12/17/2013, 8:45pm - 11:59pm
Abstract: Guichard proved in 1984 that there are countably many automorphisms of the lattice L(Q_inf) of computably enumerable subspaces of Q_inf by proving that the automorphisms are generated by computable semilinear transformations. The question about the number of automorphisms of the factor-lattice L*(Q_inf) is still open. We will discuss Ash’s conjecture regarding this question and how some of our recent results corroborate this conjecture.
C.e. and co-c.e. structures and their isomorphism
Valentina Harizanov, GWU
Thursday, 11/21/2013, 9:49pm - 11:59pm
Abstract: Computable structures and their isomorphisms have been studied extensively in computable structure theory. Here, we investigate the complexity of isomorphisms of computably enumerable (c.e.) and co-computably enumerable (co-c.e.) structures with a single equivalence relation and structures with a single injective function. This is joint work with Doug Cenzer and Jeff Remmel.
