Hope Duncan (University of Leeds) – Any function I can actually write down is measurable, right?

No! (Okay, it’s slightly more complicated than that). Inspired by a recent expository paper on arXiv of the same name, my talk will give the necessary set theoretic background to consider questions about the independence of measurability of certain functions from ZFC. If time permits, I’ll give further results using large cardinal assumptions and in the context of o-minimality.
