Syllabus -

This lecture will be given in english if requested. We will cover the Part I of Proof theory book by Gaisi Takeuti i.e.

- Cut-Elimination theorem
- Herbrand's teorem, Mid-sequent theorem, Beth's definability theorem, Interpolation theorem
- Witnessing theorems
- Completeness of predicate logic with equality
- Gentzen's proof of the consistency of PA.

Time permitting we will explore one of the following areas depending on the students interests
- Completeness of intuitionistic calculus LJ wrt to Heyting algebras,
- Proof Complexity
