W. Hugh Woodin is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley and a Professor of Philosophy and of Mathematics at Harvard University. Woodin is a leading set theorist. He has made many notable contributions to the theory of inner models and determinacy, to functional analysis, and recursion theory. A type of large cardinal, the Woodin cardinal, bears his name. He is a managing editor of the Journal of Mathematical Logic. In 1989 he received the Carol Karp Prize from the Association for Symbolic Logic.


Abstract

The determinacy axiom, AD, was introduced by Mycielski and Steinhaus over 60 years ago as an alternative to the Axiom of Choice for the study of arbitrary sets of real numbers. The modern view is that determinacy axioms concern generalizations of the borel sets, and deep connections with large cardinal axioms have emerged.

The study of determinacy axioms has led to a specific technical refinement of AD, this is the axiom AD+. The further connections with large axioms have in turn implicitly led to a duality program, this is the AD+ Duality Program.

The main open problems here are intertwined with those of the Inner Model Program, which is the central program in the study of large cardinal axioms.

This has now all been distilled into a series of specific conjectures.

  • Duality theorems for current algebras

    AbstractWe study some natural representations of current Lie algebras $g\otimes \Bbbk[t]$, called Weyl modules. They are natural analogues of irreducible representations of simple Lie algebras. There are several current analogues of classical theorems about Lie algebras where these modules «play role» of irreducible modules. In my talk I will explain analogues of duality theorems, namely Peter-...

  • Skew Howe duality and limit shapes for Young diagrams

    AbstractConsider the exterior algebra of the tensor product of two complex vector spaces of dimension n and k. This space could be regarded as a bimodule for the action of dual pairs of Lie groups. For example, for GL(n) x GL(k) - case this exterior algebra decomposes into direct sum of bimodules parametrised by conjugate partitions inside the n x k rectangle. This is the skew Howe duality.
