Justin T. Moore
Justin Tatch Moore (born 1974)[1] is a set theorist and logician. He is a full professor in mathematics at Cornell University.
Career
[edit]Moore received his PhD in 2000 from the University of Toronto under the supervision of Stevo Todorcevic.[1][2] He was an assistant professor in mathematics at Boise State University. In the fall of 2007, he joined the faculty at Cornell University.
Research
[edit]His primary research area is Ramsey theory of infinite sets. He is known for solutions to the basis problem for uncountable linear orders and to the L space problem from general topology[3] and for his work in determining the consequences of relating the continuum to certain values of the aleph function.[4] Moore, together with his PhD student Yash Lodha, produced the first torsion-free and finitely presented counterexample to the von Neumann-Day problem, originally described by mathematician John von Neumann in 1929. Lodha presented this solution at the London Mathematical Society's Geometric and Cohomological Group Theory symposium in August 2013.[5]
Awards, distinctions, and recognitions
[edit]Moore won the "Young Scholar's Competition" award in 2006, in Vienna, Austria. The Competition was a part of the "Horizons of Truth" celebrating the Gödel Centenary 2006.[6] He was an invited speaker at the ICM, Hyderabad 2010, Logic session, where he presented his solution to the problem of constructing an L-space. The L-space was constructed without assuming additional axioms and by combining Todorcevic's rho functions with number theory.[7][8]
Moore is an editor for the Archive of Mathematical Logic where he handles papers in set theory.[4] He was one of the organizers of the fall 2012 Thematic Program in Forcing and its Applications (Forcing Axioms and their Applications) at the Fields Institute.[9] In 2012, he was elected as a Fellow (Inaugural Class of Fellows) of the American Mathematical Society.[10]
