9-15 September 2019

Title of the course: Model theory via homogeneous structures
Instructor: Asst. Prof. Nick Ramsey
Institution: University of California Los Angeles
Dates: 9-15 September 2019
Prerequisites: None for the first week, either the first week or some exposure to logic for the second.
Level: Graduate, advanced undergraduate
Abstract: In the first week, we intend to introduce the language of model theory through the special case of homogeneous structures:  we will develop the basic vocabulary, describe the key examples, and aim for a proof of Fraïssé’s theorem that homogeneous structures correspond to Fraïssé classes of finite structures.
