[FOM] FIFTH WORKSHOP ON FORMAL TOPOLOGY, Stockholm, June 8-10, 2015

           FIFTH WORKSHOP ON FORMAL TOPOLOGY: 
              Spreads and Choice Sequences
                    June 8-10, 2015

                Institut Mittag-Leffler
                  Djursholm, Stockholm 

  
The study of the logical foundations of topology is playing an important role in mathematical logic and foundations of especially constructive mathematics. Early works by Brouwer on the theory of spreads and choice sequences were influencing much work in the area. A modernized form of his ideas is embodied in constructive point­‐free topology or formal topology. The workshop will gather experts in this field and related areas, including computable aspects and non-classical aspects of topology. A subtheme will be modern developments in the theory of spreads and choice sequences, as well as its history. 

This is the fifth of a series of successful meetings on the
development of Formal Topology and its connections with related
approaches. The first four have been held in Padua (1997), Venice
(2002), Padua (2007) and Ljubljana (2012)
