Distinguished Lecture Series: Stevo Todorčević
Location: Fields Institute, Room 230 and online at https://zoom.us/j/98161452924
Description
Please join us for a Distinguished Lecture Series with Prof. Stevo Todorcevic.
Stevo Todorcevic received his Ph.D. from the University of Belgrade in 1979 as a researcher at the Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences. He was a Miller Research Fellow at the University of California in Berkeley, and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. He also holds a Canada Research Chair position at the University of Toronto and the Directeur de Recherche position at the CNRS in Paris.
Todorcevic's work has influenced all aspects of set-theoretic research. Within pure set theory, his method of minimal walks and technique of side conditions for building proper forcings remain prominent tools for ZFC constructions and independence results. His result that PFA negates Jensen's square principles plays an important role in inner model theory. Within applied set theory, his work on combinatorics and dynamics has revitalized the field of structural Ramsey theory via the Kechris-Pestov-Todorcevic correspondence. His seminal work on graph dichotomies with Kechris and Solecki plays a foundational role in Borel combinatorics.
Todorcevic is a recipient of the CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize and the ASL's Shoenfield Prize for expository writing. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a member of the Serbian Academy of Science. He has presented the ASL's Gödel Lecture, Berkeley's Alfred Tarski Lecture, and the Czech Academy of Sciences Eduard Čech Lecture.
