Modal logic

Non-rigid designator

In the philosophy of language and modal logic, a term is said to be a non-rigid designator (or flaccid designator) or connotative term if it does not extensionally designate (denote, refer to) the same object in all possible worlds. This is in contrast to a rigid designator, which does designate the same object in all possible worlds in which that object exists, and does not designate anything else in those worlds in which that object does not exist. The term was coined by Saul Kripke in his 1970 lecture series at Princeton University, later published as the book Naming and Necessity. (Wikipedia).

Bill Jackson: Generic Rigidity of Point Line Frameworks

A point-line framework is a collection of points and lines in the plane which are linked by pairwise constraints that fix some angles between pairs of lines and also some point-line and point-point distances. It is rigid if every continuous motion of the points and lines which preserves th

Louis Theran: Rigidity of Random Graphs in Higher Dimensions

I will discuss rigidity properties of binomial random graphs G(n,p(n)) in fixed dimension d and some related problems in low-rank matrix completion. The threshold for rigidity is p(n) = Θ(log n / n), which is within a multiplicative constant of optimal. This talk is based on joint work wi

Ville Salo: Nilpotent endomorphisms of expansive group actions

We say a pointed dynamical system is asymptotically nilpotent if every point tends to zero. We study group actions whose endomorphism actions are nilrigid, meaning that for all asymptotically nilpotent endomorphisms the convergence to zero is uniform. We show that this happens for a large
