Title: Definable equivalence relations and classifying countable structures*
Speaker: John Clemens
Date: 9-25-14
Place: Neckers 356
Time: 12:00 pm - 12:50 pm
Abstract: Many problems in mathematics involve classifying some collection of objects up to an appropriate notion of equivalence, e.g., classifying groups up to isomorphism, topological spaces up to homeomorphism, metric spaces up to isometry. When the objects of study can be nicely encoded as elements of a Polish space (separable, completely metrizable space), the classification problem may be regarded as a definable equivalence relation on this space. This allows us to compare the complexity of various classification problems using the notion of Borel reducibility of equivalence relations. I will begin with a brief overview of this area, and then focus on classification of various countable algebraic structures up to isomorphism (countable groups, graphs, etc.). In particular, I will give examples of classes of structures of maximal complexity, and when such structures may be chosen with large automorphism groups. I will also briefly discuss the question of when other classification problems can be reduced to isomorphism of countable structures, which is to say that the isomorphism type of some countable algebraic structure may be used as a complete invariant.
