This collection documents the work of the Hyperuniverse Project
which is a new approach to set-theoretic truth based on justifiable
principles and which leads to the resolution of many questions
independent from ZFC. The contributions give an overview of the
program, illustrate its mathematical content and implications, and
also discuss its philosophical assumptions. It will thus be of wide
appeal among mathematicians and philosophers with an interest in
the foundations of set theory. The Hyperuniverse Project was
supported by the John Templeton Foundation from January 2013 until
September 2015
A compilation of papers presented at the 2001 European Summer
Meeting of the Association for Symbolic Logic, Logic Colloquium '01
includes surveys and research articles from some of the world's
preeminent logicians. Two long articles are based on tutorials
given at the meeting and present accessible expositions of research
in two active areas of logic, geometric model theory and
descriptive set theory of group actions. The remaining articles
cover seperate research topics in many areas of mathematical logic,
including applications in Computer Science, Proof Theory, Set
Theory, Model Theory, Computability Theory, and aspects of
Philosophy. This collection will be of interest not only to
specialists in mathematical logic, but also to philosophical
logicians, historians of logic, computer scientists, formal
linguists and mathematicians in the areas of algebra, abstract
analysis and topology. A number of the articles are aimed at
non-specialists and serve as good introductions for graduate
students.

The contents in this volume are based on the program Sets and
Computations that was held at the Institute for Mathematical
Sciences, National University of Singapore from 30 March until 30
April 2015. This special collection reports on important and recent
interactions between the fields of Set Theory and Computation
Theory. This includes the new research areas of computational
complexity in set theory, randomness beyond the hyperarithmetic,
powerful extensions of Goodstein's theorem and the capturing of
large fragments of set theory via elementary-recursive
structures.Further chapters are concerned with central topics
within Set Theory, including cardinal characteristics, Fraisse
limits, the set-generic multiverse and the study of ideals. Also
Computation Theory, which includes computable group theory and
measure-theoretic aspects of Hilbert's Tenth Problem. A volume of
this broad scope will appeal to a wide spectrum of researchers in
mathematical logic.
