Place: Fields Institute (Room 210) Date: November 30, 2018 (12:00-1:00) Speaker: David Chodounsky Title: Generic ultrafilters Abstract: S.

Daniel Soukup – New aspects of ladder system uniformization
Talk held by Daniel Soukup (KGRC) at the KGRC seminar on 2018-11-29. Abstract: Given a tree $T$ of height $\omega_1$, we say that a ladder system colouring $(f_\alpha)_{\alpha\in \lim\omega_1}$ has a $T$-uniformization if there is a function $\varphi$ defined on a subtree $S$ of $T$ so that for any $s\in S_\alpha$ of limit height and a[...]

Saharon Shelah: The spectrum of the existence of a universal model
HUJI Logic Seminar 21 November 2018 Speaker: Saharon Shelah Title: The spectrum of the existence of a universal model Abstract. The existence of a universal model (of a theory T in a cardinal lambda) is a natural question in model theory and set theory. We shall deal with new sufficient conditions for non-existence.[...]

Raphaël Carroy – A dichotomy for topological embeddability between continuous functions
Talk held by Raphaël Carroy (KGRC) at the KGRC seminar on 2018-11-22. Abstract We say a function $f$ embeds (topologically) in a function $g$ when there are two topological embeddings $\sigma$ and $\tau$ satisfying $\tau \circ f = g \circ \sigma$. I will prove the following dicho[...]

Yair Hayut: Chang’s conjecture
HUJI Set Theory Seminar November 21, 2018 Speaker: Yair Hayut Abstract. I will review some consistency results related to Chang's Conjecture (CC). First I will discuss some classical results of deriving instances of CC from huge cardinals and the new results for getting instances of CC from supercompact cardinals, and present some open problems. Then,…[...]

## A Mastodon instance for academics

Scholar Social is a microblogging platform for researchers, grad students, librarians, archivists, undergrads, academically inclined high schoolers, educators of all levels, journal editors, research assistants, professors, administrators—anyone involved in academia who is willing to engage with others respectfully.

We strive to be a safe space for queer people and other minorities, recognizing that there can only be academic freedom where the existence and validity of interlocutors' identities is taken as axiomatic.

"A Mastodon profile you can be proud to put on the last slide of a presentation at a conference"

## "Official" monthly journal club!

(Participation is, of course, optional)

Scholar Social features a monthly "official" journal club, in which we try to read and comment on a paper of interest.

Any user of Scholar Social can suggest an article by sending the DOI by direct message to @socrates@scholar.social and one will be chosen by random lottery on the last day of the month. We ask that you only submit articles that are from *outside* your own field of study to try to ensure that the papers we read are accessible and interesting to non-experts.
