\shout{Research Interests}

My area of research is mathematical logic or as it is sometimes called,
foundations.  This field is commonly divided into four subjects:
set theory, model theory, recursion theory, and proof theory.  My own
interests are primarily in set theory and especially independence  and
consistency results in axiomatic set theory using the method of
forcing.

Set theory started with Georg
Cantor in the 1870's.  While investigating  a problem in Fourier
analysis which involved the set of real numbers for which a trigonometric
series converged,  Cantor showed that the real line is uncountable,
i.e., it cannot
be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the set of natural numbers.
Cantor's continuum hypothesis says that the real line is as small
as possible, given Cantor's theorem. Since the work of Ernst Zermelo
(1908) and Abraham Fraenkel (1922) it has been known that there is
an explicit set of axioms (ZFC) which can be given for the theory of
sets.  All of mathematics could be formalized in the language of set
theory and all mathematical proofs can be translated into strictly
formal proofs from ZFC.

In 1938, Kurt G\"{o}del showed the
continuum hypothesis is relatively consistent with the usual axioms
of set theory (ZFC).  This means that it is impossible to prove that the
continuum hypothesis is false, using accepted ordinary mathematical
reasoning.
In 1963 Paul Cohen invented the method of forcing to show that
it is impossible to prove that the continuum hypothesis is true.
These two results show that the continuum hypothesis is independent of
the usual axioms of set theory.

Since then the method of forcing has
been used to obtain many independence results, not only in set theory,
but also in analysis, measure theory, general topology, and algebra.
Problems which most interest me, concern the real numbers and
their classical properties, such as:  Lebesgue measure, Baire category,
the Borel and projective hierarchies, infinite combinatorics on countable
sets, combinatorial cardinals beneath the continuum,
and elementary set theoretic topology.  Almost all these problems
are intimately related to Cantor's continuum hypothesis and are
solved by using the technique of forcing.
