Title Model Theory
Description Model theory treats the classification and construction of mathematical structures by considering sentences of first-order logic that are true or define certain sets in those structures. The goal of this course is to cover fundamental topics of model theory -- such as compactness, quantifier elimination, definable sets, Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé games, ultraproducts, and omitting type constructions -- while focussing also on concrete applications in mathematics. Famous examples will include Tarski's proof of the decidability of the theory of the reals using quantifier elimination and Robinson's proof of Hilbert's 17th problem using model completeness. Note that some familiarity with first-order logic will be assumed during the lectures.
