Graduiertenkolleg

Over the past century, mathematical logic has developed from a foundationally oriented science to a mathematical discipline, enriching traditional areas of mathematics with new ideas, methods, and results. The numerous and diverse connections to computer science, whose origins lies in part in mathematical logic, have led to the mutual advancement of both disciplines. This Graduiertenkolleg focuses on the interplay between logic and computer science/mathematics.

The Graduiertenkolleg addresses a coherent subject matter ranging from fundamental algebraic questions to applications in the information technology. The studies program is constructed so that participating graduate students and postdoctoral fellows develop a broad expertise in these topics.

Research

The program focuses on the applications of mathematical logic in computer science and algebra, including:
  • Model-checking problems in the theory of databases, artificial intelligence and program verification.
  • The model theory of arithmetic structures and algebraic/geometric methods in model theory.
