Reflection principles and set theory of large cardinals

Overview

Reflection properties are one of the most important features of large cardinals. It is also very often the case that some kind of collapsing of large cardinals endows small cardinals like $\color{white}\aleph_2$ with very strong reflection properties. Reflection properties also have may applications to topology and to the theory of infinite algebraic structures. In this years RIMS workshop, we shall reexamine recent developements in set theory in light of various reflection principles.

As is usually the case in this series of annual RIMS workshops in set theory, besides this main theme of the meeting, there will be also talks on topics in set theory which might not be directly connected to this main theme, as well as talks on some application of set theory in other fields of mathematics.

Guest Speakers

• James Cummings     Mini Course on "Large Cardinals and Forcing"
• Stevo Todorčević     Combinatorial Reflection Principles.
We expect many talks, in particular by junior participants, both from Japan and abroad. Prospective participants should contact the organizer, Sakaé Fuchino (see the email address below), as early as possible.
