Talk by Prof. Andrzej Tarlecki from U. Warsaw
by Atsushi Igarashi 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

京都大学の五十嵐です．来たる4/11(金)に University of Warsaw の Andrzej Tarlecki さんをお迎えして，以下の要領でセミナーを行う予定です．事前登録不要でどなたでもご参加頂けますので，ふるってご参加ください．よろしくお願いいたします．日時: 4/11(金) 13:30〜14:30 場所: 京都大学吉田キャンパス総合研究7号館(旧工学部10号館) 1階セミナー室1 ==================================================================== Categories, Institutions, Abstract Model Theory, and Software Specification Andrzej Tarlecki University of Warsaw One goal of this presentation is to show some examples where the use of category theory, via the theory of institutions, led to beautiful, general and generic results, applicable in many different contexts, and to a better understanding of some standard classical results and ideas from mathematical logic and from the theory of algebraic specifications. The theory of institutions uses the language of category theory to offer a simple formalisation of the concept of a logical system, where sentences and semantic structures are abstract objects linked by a satisfaction relation, classified by (abstract) signatures. The key tool used when working with institutions is a categorical structure imposed on the collection of signatures, together with (covariant) translations of sentences and (contravariant) reducts of semantic structures induced by signature morphisms in a way that preserves satisfaction. Nearly all (if not quite all) logical systems fit such an institutional mould. An ambitious research programme is to mimic developments that classically concern, or rely on a particular logical system within an arbitrary institution, perhaps subject to some further requirements. In this way, we may arrive at general results that apply to many logical systems and, perhaps more importantly, capture a better understanding of the essence of many classical results and ideas. In this talk I will present the basics of the theory of institutions, and will draw examples from institutional abstract model theory (interpolation and definability results) and foundations of software specification and development (specification structure and its use) to illustrate this point. -- 五十嵐淳 (IGARASHI Atsushi) E-mail: igarashi(a)kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp url: http://www.fos.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~igarashi/

Prof. Jean-Pierre Jouannaud at NII Logic Seminar
by Makoto Tatsuta 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Prof. Jean-Pierre Jouannaud at NII Logic Seminar Date: April 7, 2014, 14:00--16:00 Place: National Institute of Informatics, Room 1208 (12th floor) 場所: 国立情報学研究所 12階 1208室 (半蔵門線,都営地下鉄三田線・新宿線神保町駅または東西線竹橋駅より徒歩5分) (地図 http://www.nii.ac.jp/about/access/) Speaker: Prof. Jean-Pierre Jouannaud (Tsinghua University and Ecole Polytechnique) Title: Confluence by critical pair analysis Abstract: Knuth and Bendix showed that confluence of a terminating first-order rewrite system can be reduced to the joinability of its finitely many critical pairs. In this paper, we show that this is still true of a rewrite system RT union RNT such that RT is terminating and RNT is a left-linear, rank non-increasing, possibly non-terminating, rewrite system: confluence can then be reduced to the joinability of the critical pairs of RT and to the existence of decreasing diagrams for the critical pairs of RT inside RNT, as well as for the parallel critical pairs of RNT. Since left-linearity and rank non-increasingness are easily decided in linear time, implementing our test in a system like CSI (Innsbruck) should require little effort for a wide benefit. We believe that this applies to higher-order systems as well. Further, we shall discuss an old open problem of Huet in the form of a non-terminating, non-confluent, critical pair free rewrite system, and will show that it has a "hidden critical pair" which joinability (if it were joinable) would imply its confluence. This is a joint work with Jiaxiang Liu. 問合せ先: 龍田真 (国立情報学研究所) e-mail: tatsuta(a)nii.ac.jp http://research.nii.ac.jp/~tatsuta

Summer School "Proof, Truth, Computation" (PTC 2014) 20-25 July 2014, Chiemsee, Germany Call for applications by young researchers. Deadline: 17 March 2014. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is to invite young researchers (PhD students and post-docs) to apply for the upcoming summer school "Proof, Truth, Computation. Modern Foundations of Mathematics and Contemporary Philosophy". Application by female scientists is particularly encouraged. The event will take place from 21st to 25th July 2014 (arrival 20th July afternoon, departure 25th July after noon) in the Benedictine nunnery Frauenwoerth on the Fraueninsel in Chiemsee between Munich and Salzburg: http://www.frauenwoerth.de/english/ The Volkswagen Foundation will kindly sponsor this event: http://www.volkswagenstiftung.de/en/foundation.html To get an idea of this summer school, especially of its interdisciplinary character, please see the material provided at end of this message. Junior participants will be particularly expected to contribute to the questions and answers sessions and to the round table discussions. Important dates: Deadline for application: 17th March 2014 Notification of acceptance: 24st March 2014 Communication of precise air fare (if applicable): 31st March 2014 Applications are to be sent, in a single PDF document, by email, to ptc14(a)math.lmu.de PhD students need to send a CV of at most 2 pages, a brief letter of motivation and one letter of reference. Postdocs only need to send a CV of at most 2 pages. All applicants need to tell whether they also apply for funding and, if so, to which extent. Only a limited amount of funding is available. Applicants for funding are expected to stay for the whole week, and to tell the extent to which they can be funded by other sources. If your application for funding is successful, then you will be offered reimbursement of the travel and lodging expenses that you cannot cover from other sources. This will require that you choose the cheapest travel option, and that you book your trip by 31st March 2014 in case of flights and by the earliest possible date in case of long-distance trains. We hope to be able to contribute partially to your subsistence expenses (meals). Meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner - the latter two excluding drinks) for four and a half days will be EUR 180. PhD students and postdocs are expected to share double rooms, for EUR 125 each person for the whole week (5 nights). Organising committee: Hannes Leitgeb <hannes.leitgeb(a)lmu.de> Iosif Petrakis <petrakis(a)math.lmu.de> Peter Schuster <pschust(a)maths.leeds.ac.uk> Helmut Schwichtenberg <schwicht(a)math.lmu.de> Enquiries are to be directed to: ptc14(a)math.lmu.de -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Main Topics Truth Theories Predicativity Constructivity Proof Theory Formal Epistemology Set-theoretic Truth Further topics will include: Homotopy, Types and Univalence Program Extraction from Proofs Coalgebraic and Categorical Semantics Minimal Type Theory Speakers and disputants (preliminary list) Tatiana Arrigoni Steve Awodey Marco Benini Ulrich Berger Andrea Cantini Thierry Coquand (to be confirmed) Laura Crosilla Branden Fitelson Sy Friedman (to be confirmed) Volker Halbach Hajime Ishihara Peter Koellner Hannes Leitgeb Maria Emilia Maietti David Makinson Yiannis Moschovakis Sara Negri Erik Palmgren Dirk Pattinson Dieter Probst Joan Rand-Moschovakis Michael Rathjen Giuseppe Rosolini (to be confirmed) Giovanni Sambin Monika Seisenberger Philip Welch Andreas Weiermann Aims and Scope Mathematical methods are about to shape some branches of contemporary philosophy just as they have formed most of the natural and many of the social sciences. The thread of the school we propose is to mirror this development, known as mathematical philosophy or formal epistemology; to highlight the challenges that arise from it; and to display its repercussions in mathematics. As for theoretical computer science, a quite comparable spin-off of mathematics, the principal counterpart within mathematics is mathematical logic. Since many of the objects of study lie beyond the typical commitment of contemporary mathematics, it is decisive to include non-classical issues such as predicativity and constructivity. Proof theory does indeed play a pivotal role: as the area of mathematical logic that is closest to the understanding of logic as the science of formal languages and reasoning, it is predestined for interaction both with philosophical and computer science logic. A hot topic that crosses over wide ranges of the school, and is most prominently represented within, is whether axiomatic theories of truth and of related notions, such as provability and knowledge, are possible at all in the stress field between syntax and semantics. Rational belief and rational choice, epistemic issues of principal philosophical relevance, are put under mathematical scrutiny by applying probabilism: that is, the thesis that a rational agent's degrees of belief should conform to the axioms of probability theory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Professor Hajime Ishihara School of Information Science Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology 1-1 Asahidai, Nomi, Ishikawa 923-1292, Japan Tel: +81-761-51-1206 Fax: +81-761-51-1149 ishihara(a)jaist.ac.jp http://www.jaist.ac.jp/~ishihara
