Series: Penn State Logic Seminar Date: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 Time: 2:30 - 3:45 PM Place: 307 Boucke Building Speaker: John Clemens, Penn State, Mathematics Title: Fraisse Limits and Zero-One Laws Abstract: A Fraisse limit is a countable structure obtained as a certain type of limit of finite structures. Such structures have many nice properties which I will discuss. In particular, they often satisfy a zero-one law: The theory of the structure is obtained as a limit of the theories of the finite structures used to construct it.
