At very short notice, my thesis defence will be this coming Monday (August 29th), at 17.30. Floris Roelofsen is also defending, at 16.00 in the same room. The location is the Euclides building on Plantage Muidergracht, room P0.17. (Please contact me if you need directions.)
The topics of the two defences are “Logical Perspectives on Distributed Knowledge and its Dynamics” (Floris) and “Analysing the complexity of games on graphs” (myself). For those unfamiliar with the MSc defence, we give a 40 minute presentation then our examining committee asks some pointed questions, after which they retire into a huddle to decide on the grade to assign. Traditionally this is followed rather swiftly by disappearing off to the pub, to celebrate or commiserate as appropriate.
I’ve placed my thesis online, along with some Java software I wrote for exploring games on graphs as an addition to the thesis proper.

Sorry for asking for your help under the title of “comment”,in Chpt 1 of your thesis, you quoted some results from [Mar] (Donald A.Martin,Determinacy,a monograph in preparation). Would you like to let me have an access to this book if be convenient? I really enjoy the infinite games. Thanks. Please email to me AFTER your successful defense! Best Wishes! Huanfang
I just sent an email to Huanfang, but in case anyone else is interested: the Determinacy monograph is the draft of a book, which I don’t actually have myself. You should contact the author to see about getting a copy, but I don’t know what his policy is; I used files belonging to my supervisor to track down a result that was quoted without reference details in another paper.
