The debate between Hilbert and Brouwer, which took place at the beginning of the 20th century, is without doubt one of the most important events in the history of foundations of mathematics. In that debate Brouwer rejected transcendent proof methods and insisted on the exclusive use of intuitionist (or constructive) arguments for a conceptually correct development of mathematics. Hilbert, on the contrary, viewed these transcendental and non-effective proofs as the very essence of mathematical thinking. He introduced proof theory in the hope to justify these transcendent methods by purely effective means. While Gödel’s second incompleteness theorem is generally said to contravene Hilbert’s hopes, it is remarkable that Gödel himself insisted on the fact that his result does not contradict at all Hilbert’s program. In fact, the impact of Gödel’s result on Hilbert’s program was the topic of a discussion between Gödel, Herbrand and Neumann about the fundamental question of the scope of constructive mathematics. Recent results in different fields of mathematics, such as proof theory, type theory, constructive algebra and categorical logic, shed new light on this question. For instance, proof theory seems to indicate precise limits to intuitionistic type theory, while on the other hand the Univalence Axiomallows for a rather unexpected extension of constructive methods. The goal of this workshop is precisely to bring together experts in these different fields to evaluate the impact of those new results on foundations of mathematics.

This workshop will be less focused in nature and will bring together small groups of experts centered around emerging applications of set theory. This will include applications of set-theory in algebraic topology and homological algebra, operator algebras (for instance Koszmider's solution to Anderson's conjecture), Keisler's order in model theory, and the geometry of Banach spaces.

Institute of Philosophy of the The Czech Academy of Sciences announces LOGICA 2023, the 36th in the series of annual international symposia devoted to logic, to be held in Tepla Monastery, Czech Republic, on Sunday 18 June -- Thursday 22 June 2023. Invited speakers: David Corfield (University of Kent), Wesley Holliday (UC Berkeley), Gillian Russell (Australian Catholic University), Sara Uckelman (Durham University). If you are interested in presenting a paper at the symposium, please submit a two-page blinded abstract via EasyChair by 27 March 2023. Contributions devoted to any of the wide range of logical problems are welcome except those focused on specialized technical applications. Particularly welcome are contributions that cover issues interesting both for philosophically and mathematically oriented logicians.

The 20th International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL 2023) will take place from 17 July to 21 July 2023 at Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris, France. Quantum Physics and Logic is an annual conference that brings together academic and industry researchers working on mathematical foundations of quantum computation, quantum physics, and related areas. The main focus is on the use of algebraic and categorical structures, formal languages, type systems, semantic methods, as well as other mathematical and computer scientific techniques applicable to the study of physical systems, physical processes, and their composition. Work applying quantum-inspired techniques and structures to other fields (such as linguistics, artificial intelligence, and causality) is also welcome.

The workshop is designed to explore the interactions that exists between set theory, topology, and algebra. The focus of the workshop will be on the study of topological problems of set-theoretic flavor arising in topological algebra and algebraic topology, as well as the study of topological games and homogeneity.

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI) is a yearly recurring event, which has been organized since 1989. An ESSLLI Summer School provides an interdisciplinary setting in which courses and workshops are offered in logic, linguistics and computer science. Courses (foundational, introductory and advanced) and workshops cover a wide variety of topics within three interdisciplinary areas of interest: language and computation, logic and language, and logic and computation. In addition to the workshops and courses there are usually four evening lectures, given by prominent researchers, on topics that are at the forefront of research in logic, language and computer science, also from wider scientific, historical, and philosophical perspectives. Its relevance to students of artificial intelligence is evident.

In the recent development of Mathematics, the study of symmetry of highly singular objects has contributed to the simultaneous understanding of symmetries and groups. The aims of the Workshop are the study of symmetries of the Cantor set, and the understanding of the groups arising as symmetries of the Cantor set.

The Symposium is organised by the TSU Razmadze Mathematical Institute, the Centre for Language, Logic and Speech at the Tbilisi State University, the Georgian Academy of Sciences, the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) of the University of Amsterdam.

The Fourteenth International Tbilisi Symposium on Logic, Language, and Computation will be held 18-22 September 2023 in Telavi, located in the Kakheti region, Georgia, north-east of Tbilisi. The Programme Committee invites submissions for contributions on all aspects of logic, language, and computation.
