    Preface (98k)
    Chapter 1: Generating Sets for the Recursively Enumerable Turing Degrees (228k)

    This volume is a collection of written versions of the talks given at the Workshop on Computational Prospects of Infinity, held at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences from 18 June to 15 August 2005. It consists of contributions from many of the leading experts in recursion theory (computability theory) and set theory. Topics covered include the structure theory of various notions of degrees of unsolvability, algorithmic randomness, reverse mathematics, forcing, large cardinals and inner model theory, and many others.

     
    Contents:
    • Prompt Simplicity, Array Computability and Cupping (R Downey et al.)
    • A Simpler Short Extenders Forcing — Gap 3 (M Gitik)
    • The Strength of Some Combinatorial Principles Related to Ramsey's Theorem for Pairs (D R Hirschfeldt et al.)
    • Absoluteness for Universally Baire Sets and the Uncountable II (I Farah et al.)
