This volume takes its name from a popular series of intensive mathematics workshops hosted at institutions in Appalachia and surrounding areas. At these meetings, internationally prominent set theorists give one-day lectures that focus on important new directions, methods, tools and results so that non-experts can begin to master these and incorporate them into their own research. Each chapter in this volume was written by the workshop leaders in collaboration with select student participants, and together they represent most of the meetings from the period 2006-2012. Topics covered include forcing and large cardinals, descriptive set theory, and applications of set theoretic ideas in group theory and analysis, making this volume essential reading for a wide range of researchers and graduate students.

Queer men’s cultures of intimacy have long been sites of fierce contestation. Indeed, debates have raged for decades over issues such as monogamy, safer sex, sexual racism and gay marriage. This open access book explores these debates, intensified by the introduction of the smartphone in 2008, whilst exploring further questions.Through interviews with a diverse group of 43 queer men about their smartphone mediated intimacies, Digital Intimacies reveals that queer men use their smartphones, not simply to arrange intimate encounters, but more specifically to gain a sense of control over the parts of their intimate lives that make them feel most vulnerable. For instance, some use messaging apps to gain a sense of control over intimate conversations that they feel too vulnerable to have in person. Others use the ‘block’ function on dating apps to feel in control of the racism and transphobia they are vulnerable to on these apps. Digital Intimacies therefore illuminates not only hitherto underexplored aspects of queer men’s cultures of intimacy but crucially also brings into view previously obscured cultural dynamics, gaining insight into the historical moments in which they occur.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

This volume celebrates the research contributions of Professors Theodore A Slaman and W Hugh Woodin, marking their distinguished careers in higher recursion theory and set theory as they approached the milestone of their 65th birthdays in 2019. It originates from the Institute for Mathematical Sciences program, Higher Recursion Theory and Set Theory, held at the National University of Singapore (May 20-June 14, 2019).The program explored cutting-edge developments in higher recursion theory, set theory, and their intricate interconnections. Topics discussed during the workshop included Martin's conjecture, higher randomness, the HOD conjecture, descriptive inner model theory, and the Ultimate-L program.This volume presents 15 peer-reviewed contributions by leading experts in the field, offering a comprehensive overview of recent advances in higher recursion theory and set theory, with a focus on their dynamic interactions.
