David Schrittesser

I currently hold the position of Professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Before that, I was Research Associate in statistics and mathematics at the University of Toronto. During my time there I was also main organizer of the Set Theory Seminar at the Fields Institute.

Research Profile

My research is in mathematical logic; my primary interests are descriptive set theory, as well as infinite combinatorics, forcing, definability, and inner models. I am also interested in non-standard analysis and its applications, especially in probability theory and statistical decision theory.

The list below is currently slightly out of date, but in addition to my articles at arxiv (which are completely up-to-date) contains my master's and doctoral theses as well as an article about teaching mathematics which I wrote as part of a pedadogy course at University of Copenhagen (Item 11 below).

Past talks and travel

Events I have helped organize

On World Logic Day, January 14th 2022, we had a series of talks at the Toronto Set Theory Seminar at Fields Institute.

A long time ago, the famous Young Set Theory Workshop put up its tent in Copenhagen, organized by Karen Bakke Haga, Vibeke Quorning, Asger Törnquist, and me. We acknowledge generous support from the DNRF Niels Bohr Professorship of Lars Hesselholt and from the University of Copenhagen.
