Winter School 2009 (Forcing for the faint of heart)
U. Abraham, P. Koszmider, J. Pawlikowski, L. Soukup
Program
The lectures in the tutorial track focused on the basics of forcing theory and its applications. The lectures covered elementary as well as intermediate topics. U. Abraham had a tutorial on forcing with side conditions and the P-ideal dichotomy. P. Koszmider focused on iterated forcing and showed how to force MA, non CH and no Kurepa tree. J. Pawlikowski gave lectures on reals and forcing and L. Soukup focused on forcing and combinatorics. The research track contained the usual mix of research presentations from general topology, set theory, measure theory and related fields.Participants
