Upcoming Cross-Alps Logic Seminar

June 9th, 2023, 16.00-17.00 (Online on Webex)

U. Kohlenbach (Technische Universität Darmstadt) "Proof mining: Recent developments".
Abstract.
In this talk we survey some recent developments in the project of applying proof-theoretic transformations to obtain new quantitative and qualitative information from given proofs in areas of core mathematics such as nonsmooth optimization, geodesic geometry and ergodic theory. We will discuss some of the following items:
(1) Proof mining in the context of set-valued monotone and accretive operators with applications in nonsmooth optimization such as inconsistent feasibility theorems (partly joint work with Nicholas Pischke).
(2) Recent linear rates of asymptotic regularity as well as rates of metastability for Tikhonov-regularization methods (joint work with Horaţiu Cheval and Laurenţiu Leuştean).
(3) The extraction of uniform rates of convergence for the \(\varepsilon\)-capture in the Lion-Man game in a general geodesic setting from a proof that made iterated use of sequential compactness arguments (i.e. arithmetical comprehension). The extraction also qualitatively generalizes previously known results (joint work with Genaro López-Acedo and Adriana Nicolae).
(4) Recent applications to ergodic theory (joint work with Anton Freund).

A. Nies (University of Auckland) "Computably totally disconnected, locally compact groups".
Abstract.
In the first part of the talk I will introduce two notions of computable presentation of a totally disconnected, locally compact (t.d.l.c.) group, and show their equivalence. The first relies on standard notions of computability in the uncountable setting. The second restricts computation to a countable structure of approximations of the elements, the “meet groupoid” of compact open cosets. Based on this, I obtain various examples of computably t.d.l.c. groups, such as \(\operatorname{Aut}(T_d)\) and some algebraic groups over the field of \(p\)-adic numbers.
In the second part I show that given a computable presentation of a t.d.l.c. group, the modular function and the Cayley-Abels graphs (in the compactly generated case) are computable. I give an example where the scale function fails to be computable.
I explain why the class of computably t.d.l.c. groups is closed under most of the constructions studied by Wesolek.
Time permitting, I will give a criterion when a computable presentation is unique up to computable isomorphism. Joint work with Alexander Melnikov.
