Proof Theory, Modal Logic and Reflection Principles: Second International Wormshop
Including a memorial to Grisha Mints

Mexico City, September 29th to October 2nd, 2014

**************************************************************************

AIMS AND SCOPE

The second edition of the conference series Proof Theory, Modal Logic and Reflection Principles (formerly Proof Theory and Modal Logic) will be held in Mexico City from September 29th to October 2nd 2014, following the first installment in Barcelona in 2012.

A recent approach to proof theory uses techniques from modal logic to compute the consistency strength of formal theories. As a result one obtains, among other benefits, semi-finitary consistency proofs in the spirit of the extended Hilbert’s programme.

This approach requires techniques from many disciplines; the aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in relevant fields in order to discuss recent advances and foster new collaborations. Topics include, but are not limited to

+ Turing-Feferman progressions
+ Provability logics and algebras
+ Proof-theory of arithmetic and analysis
+ Ordinal analysis
+ Point-set topology
+ Set theory
+ Model theory

**************************************************************************

DATES AND VENUE

The workshop will be held in Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México, situated near the center of one of the oldest and most charming districts in Mexico City.

The scientific program will begin Monday, September 29 and end Thursday, October 2, 2014. On Friday, October 3 there is an optional excursion scheduled.

**************************************************************************

Our list of speakers has seen changes over the past month. We were shocked by the terrible news of Grigori Mints' untimely passing. Instead of Mints speaking at the workshop we will now dedicate a special day dedicated to the memory of Grigori Mints.

On a more positive note, we are very pleased with the addition of many new speakers.
