Ordinal Definability and Recursion Theory: The Cabal Seminar, Volume III

by Alexander S. Kechris, Benedikt Löwe, John R. Steel

Overview

The proceedings of the Los Angeles Caltech-UCLA 'Cabal Seminar' were originally published in the 1970s and 1980s. Ordinal Definability and Recursion Theory is the third in a series of four books collecting the seminal papers from the original volumes together with extensive unpublished material, new papers on related topics and discussion of research developments since the publication of the original volumes. Focusing on the subjects of 'HOD and its Local Versions' (Part V) and 'Recursion Theory' (Part VI), each of the two sections is preceded by an introductory survey putting the papers into present context. These four volumes will be a necessary part of the book collection of every set theorist.
