Boise Extravaganza in Set Theory

Abstract

Award: DMS-0503444

Principal Investigator: Justin T. Moore

The Boise Extravaganza in Set Theory is an annual three day

conference at Boise State University devoted to set theory and

related areas of mathematics such as algebra, analysis,

combinatorics, logic, and topology. It has occurred continuously

since the first conference in 1992. This proposal is a request

for travel and lodging support for the invited speakers and

participants who attend the conference (particularly students and

junior researchers). The main goals of the conference are as

follows: (1) Provide the Western US with an annual conference in

set theory; (2) Provide an organized low-cost event accessible to

graduate students and young researchers; (3) Provide an

opportunity for interaction between the leaders in the field and

set theorists early in their careers; (4) Provide a forum for

interactions between set theory and related areas of mathematics;

(5) Represent the many different sub-disciplines within set

theory; (6) Encourage participation by women and minorities when

possible.
