| Title: | General logical metatheorems for functional analysis |
|
| Abstract: |
In recent years, the so-called program of "proof mining" has received
increased attention. "Proof mining" is the extraction of additional
information, such as uniformities or computable bounds, from (formal) proofs
in mathematics using proof-theoretic techniques. This program goes back to
Kreisel's "unwinding program" in the 1960s but has been rejuvenated by the
work of primarily U.Kohlenbach since the 1990s. We will present some of the
most recent general metatheorems for proof mining in abstract functional
analysis. These results are joint work with U.Kohlenbach.
In the first talk, we gave a general overview to the area of proof mining. In this second talk we will treat in detail the most recent metatheorems. |
