Gödel '96: Logical Foundations of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics - Kurt Gödel's Legacy. Brno, Czech Republic, August 1996, Proceedings

This is a proceedings volume of the conference celebrating the 90th anniversary of the birth of Kurt Goedel. The conference has been recognized as an ASL sponsored meeting. Invited papers and contributed papers concern mainly mathematical logic but also philosophy of mathematics, computer science and physics and are devoted to topics related to Goedel's work and reflect the present state of knowledge domains deeply influenced by Goedel. The papers included in this proceedings volume of the conference celebrating the 90th anniversary of the birth of Kurt Goedel, are concerned with mathematical logic, philosophy of mathematics, and computer science. The topics are related to Goedel's work and reflect his influence in the field. Summary. From 1931 until late in his life (at least 1970) Godel called for the pursuit of new axioms for mathematics to settle both undecided number-theoretical propositions (of the form obtained in his incompleteness results) and undecided set-theoretical propositions (in particular CH).
