Well done to Deidre Haskell, @archernikov.bsky.social, and others who have resigned en masse from the profit-oriented Mathematical Logic Quarterly and founded a new diamond open-access journal ZML! Academics have the upper hand over commercial publishers, when they decide to flex their muscles.

Math journal editors resign to launch open-access title ‘free from pressure or influence'

I'm excited to join the editorial board of a new diamond open access journal in mathematical logic: ZML: Zeitschrift für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagen der Mathematik zml.international The open letter of the editors of ZML can be found online on the webpage.

Very very sad news for all of us in the model theory community. Dr. Zoé Chatzidakis, a brilliant mathematician, loyal friend, fierce advocate for her subject and strong supporter of women and young people. She died on the morning of January 22, 2025. www.fields.utoronto.ca/news/Memoria...

My #math department at #UCLA is now advertising for an additional tenure-track assistant professor position as part of UCLA's HSI (Hispanic Serving Institution) initiative: recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF10045 . The deadline for applications is Jan 20, 2025.

Here I am! What's going on at BlueSky? I'm interested in all things infinite, including especially math and philosophy and the interaction of math and philosophy. Please point me toward what's going on here. Meanwhile, for your enjoyment here is a picture I made of the first few surreal numbers...

Tanya Klowden and I have set up an instagram to record various #astronomy stories we have gathered during the process of writing a forthcoming book on the cosmic distance ladder. Our latest post, on the "mini-moon" that briefly visited our neighborhood, is now up: www.instagram.com/p/DC08k17xZqB

There will be a Very Informal Gathering of Logicians (VIG 2025) at UCLA, Fri, Feb 7 to Sun, Feb 9, 2025. The 22nd in a series of biennial logic meetings at UCLA, this event honors Alexander Kechris on the occasion of his formal retirement from Caltech. www.math.ucla.edu/~ineeman/Con... #MathSky

I'm visiting Carnegie Mellon for a week, and giving a talk tomorrow, on some interplay of mathematical logic, combinatorics and theoretical machine learning: www.cmu.edu/math/news-ev...

It feels a bit strange having a completely empty profile page, so here's an introductory post to say that I'm only an occasional contributor to Twitter, but my plan now is to cross post here and see how things go, both for me personally and for the two sites as a whole. 1/4

The evolution of model theory through the latter half of the 20th century, via Andrew Marks an ChatGPT.

I'm writing a math paper for an invited volume with a timed deadline (already overdue, of course), this is very stressful! How do you all do it in computer science and other subjects and not loose sleep?

From the Wikipedia entry on Frank Ramsey: In 1923, Ramsey was befriended by Geoffrey and Margaret Pyke, then on the point of founding the Malting House School in Cambridge; the Pykes took Ramsey into their family, taking him on holiday and asking him to be the godfather of their young son.

I'm giving a talk at the @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social Logic Workshop on Friday, on externally definable sets, their honest definitions and externally definable groups in NIP structures: nylogic.github.io/logic-worksh...

I'm giving a talk at Harvard on Monday, on connections of mathematical logic and higher VC-theory for learning in product spaces: cmsa.fas.harvard.edu/event/colloq...

See some recommendations from me and my colleagues at the University of Maryland for your summer reading list, including a rollercoaster biography of a remarkable Polish logician and mathematician Alfred Tarski, "the man who defined truth"!

Very excited about this new preprint with Kyle Gannon and Krzysztof Krupinski! "Definable convolution and idempotent Keisler measures III. Generic stability, generic transitivity, and revised Newelski's conjecture" arxiv.org/abs/2406.00912 #ModelTheory #math

A new book by David Marker "An Invitation to Mathematical Logic" has recently been published in Springer's Graduate Texts in Mathematics series! link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

I gave a short informal interview while visiting University of Münster last month: youtu.be/UJazzknGBqQ?... Simone and I discuss some history of mathematical logic and model theory, a recent active directions connecting model theory and combinatorics, and some exciting future directions!

Working on my fitness by practicing some very challenging superpositions.

A special issue of the new journal Model Theory is out! On the occasion of Ehud Hrushovski's Sixtieth Birthday, edited by Assaf Hasson, H. Dugald Macpherson and Silvain Rideau-Kikuchi msp.org/mt/2023/2-2/ #MathSky

Fourth-wave coffee: Bluestone Lane at the Church of the Heavenly Rest NYC.

Had a great time visiting Wesleyan for a math department colloquium! The math building has strong Evans hall vibes.

Arrived to Seoul. I haven't slept for 40 hours, waiting to be allowed to check into my hotel and the building next to it started burning.

A couple of weeks ago at the Calanque de Port-Miou near Cassis.

So I've heard #MathTwitter might be moving here - anyone around?

They are definitely available for having an espresso at the UCLA logic center! For any further inquiries contact Aaron Anderson (@awainverse on various platforms).
