6 April 2017, DIP Colloquium, Lisa Bylinina
6 April 2017, Workshop on the foundations of mathematics and physics, in occasion of Riccardo Pinosio's PhD defense
This workshop is a chance to discuss the problem of the continuum (broadly construed) in the foundations of mathematics and physics, and how logical tools from the foundations of mathematics can be applied to illuminate issues in contemporary physics. This workshop is associated to Riccardo Pinosio's PhD defense.
6 April 2017, *MoL thesis presentation* Event I
During these events, second year MoL students will present their ongoing thesis projects to the ILLC community. For the students it is an opportunity to receive feedback on their research from experts outside of their supervisory team. For the ILLC community it is an opportunity to get an overview of the variety of research questions our students are currently working on.
12 April 2017, Logic of Conceivability Seminar, Peter Hawke
Peter will discuss both Van Inwagen's article on Modal Epistemology and his own reply (Hawke) on Van Inwagen's Modal Skepticism.

26 April 2017, Algebra|Coalgebra Seminar, George Metcalfe
Ordering conditions for groups provide useful tools for the study of various relationships between group theory, universal algebra, topology, and logic. In this talk, I will describe a new “algorithmic” ordering condition for extending partial orders on groups to total orders. I will then show how this condition can be used to show that extending a finite subset of a free group to a total order corresponds to checking validity of a certain inequation in the class of totally ordered groups. As a direct consequence, we obtain a new proof that free groups are orderable.
