Model theory, pure and applied

Obiettivo

The prospective chair holder Pillay is a world-class mathematician and researcher in model theory who has built up centres of excellence in the USA (Notre-Dame and Urbana) over the past 20 years. Model theory is a branch of mathematical logic and deals with definability in mathematical structures and classes of structures. Pillay's project concerns the opening up of new directions in `pure' model theory as well as applications to and interactions with areas of mathematics such as complex and diophantine geometry and the algebraic theory of differential equations. He has built up collaborations and interactions with a large number of mathematicians in Europe, both within model theory and outside. Pillay will bring to the UK a unique expertise in stability theory and its applications. Outcomes of the project include major advances in the subject, the training of a new generation of postgraduate students and young researchers, as well as the publication of texts on the state-of-the-art in the field. The host institution, Leeds, has already an important profile in European logic.
The model theory and logic group is integrated into various EC schemes: it coordinates the multi-partner EST scheme MATHLOGAPS in mathematical logic and applications, and is a partner in the model theory RTN MODNET. Pillay will make a major contribution to the research and training programme of MODNET, and the large number of network activities will facilitate his integration into the European model theory community. Leeds has an excellent record in recent years attracting strong logic PhD students, especially in model theory, and Pillay will supervise a number of students and teach annual graduate courses in model theory and applications. Leeds has offered Pillay a permanent position to take on conclusion of the Marie Curie Chair.'
