SEALS 2022

University of Florida, March 5-6

General Information

The Southeastern Logic Symposium (SEALS) series provides a forum for set theorists and computability theorists to meet on a regular basis. It has traditionally been a unique venue in this direction. The conversation of the two fields keeps producing new ideas. The weekend meetings are held annually in the beginning of March at University of Florida.

SEALS 2022 is planned as an in-person conference at University of Florida. There will be four plenary talks, parallel special session talks in set theory and computability, and problem sessions.

We are pleased to be running concurrently with the 38th Southeastern Analysis Meating (SEAM). With this in mind, we plan for the set theory and computability sessions to emphasize connections between Logic and Analysis.

We are committed to the safety and health of all participants. The conference will follow UF COVID-19 rules as outlined and updated at https://coronavirus.ufl.edu/
