Key Research Area Logic
The Key Research Area Logic, also known as the Kurt Gödel Research Center for Mathematical Logic (KGRC), follows the tradition of Kurt Gödel, who proved his famous Completeness and Incompleteness Theorems in Vienna in the years 1929–1931, perhaps the most significant work of mathematical logic of modern times. Gödel's results were foundational for all the central areas of contemporary logic: set theory, model theory, computability theory, and proof theory.
We teach a variety of courses in logic for the bachelor, master and PhD courses of the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna.
The current research in our Key Research Area mainly focuses on set theory and model theory.
