Thursday 12 November 2026 at 11 am, as part of the Al@Bicocca seminar cycle, Alberto Cassella will hold the following talk
Title: First-order aspects of Artin groups
Abstract: In the last few years, the model theory of finitely generated groups has experienced a noticeable boost, thanks in part to techniques coming from geometric group theory. In this talk, I’ll present some recent model-theoretic results on selected families of Artin groups — most notably the spherical and affine ones. The focus will be on questions of superstability, as well as on elementary equivalence and first-order rigidity.
This is based on joint work with Gianluca Paolini and Giovanni Paolini.
Information to attend
The seminar will be held in Room Alpha (DB1 Building, 3rd Floor | Deutsche Bank | Piazza del Calendario 3, Milano) and will also be available online by this link.
