The Set-Theoretic Multiverse
Joel David Hamkins proposed a list of axioms for the multiverse view of set theory. We will look at these axioms and their consequences to our understanding of the mathematical universe. We will also look at a consistency proof of the multiverse axioms by Victoria Gitman and Joel David Hamkins. |

The Strength of Ramsey's Theorem for Pairs We will review the forcing argument in Seetapun and Slaman 1995 showing that Ramsey's theorem for pairs is weaker than arithmetic comprehension. We may look at the complications involved in trying to do a similar argument for the binary tree version. |
