Set Theory in the United Kingdom 19

University of Leeds
Friday 15 May 2026

Set Theory in the United Kingdom is a research network in set theory that was formed in 2018 and has been funded by two Scheme 3 grants of the London Mathematical Society and an INI Network Support grant by the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences.

The members of the network are the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, East Anglia, Leeds, Oxford, Warwick and University College London. The current coordinators are Sam Coskey (UCL), Asaf Karagila (Leeds), and Benedikt Löwe (Cambridge).

STUK 19 is the nineteenth installment of the series and will be held in the School of Mathematics at the University of Leeds, in the MALL on level 8: when walking to the University of Leeds campus from the train station, you'll reach Willow Terrace road, and pass by our sports centre the Edge. When you reach the Pond, turn right and walk up the staircase and you'll see the entrance to the School of Mathematics on your left. The route to the MALL will be clearly signposted from reception—start by heading down the stairs to your right in the foyer. Find map of the campus.

Information about financial matters. To make the most of there being lots of set theorists visiting Leeds that week, we'll be starting STUK earlier in the day to allow for an extra talk. We have therefore secured extra funding to allow attendees to stay in Leeds the night before. If funds allow, we may also be able to cover staying in Leeds on Friday night, but note that the primary use of the extra funding is for Hotel stays the night before.

  • Train travel and food can be claimed through STUK as usual, please let Benedikt know in advance if you'll claim travel costs, and send your receipts for this to him afterwards to be reimbursed.
  • Let Hope know at mmhid(at)leeds.ac.uk if you need a hotel the night before, you should book this in advance and can claim it back afterwards. If paying out of pocket for this would cause any financial difficulty, let Hope know. Receipts for the Hotel should be sent to Hope, and you will be reimbursed after STUK.
  • We are able to fund Hotel stays of up to &sterling; 70, here are some recommendations that are currently within that price bracket (you should book in advance to avoid price hikes!): ibis Leeds Centre Marlborough Street, Discovery Inn—Leeds, easyHotel Leeds.
  • If you are interested in giving an informal talk, please let Rae know at lzml0213(at)leeds.ac.uk.
