• 2022 Sacks Prize. The ASL invites nominations for the 2022 Sacks Prize for the most outstanding doctoral dissertation in mathematical logic. Nominations must be received by September 30, 2022. The Sacks Prize was established to honor the late Professor Gerald Sacks of MIT and Harvard for his unique contribution to mathematical logic, particularly as adviser to a large number of excellent Ph.D. students. The Prize was first awarded in 1994 and became an ASL Prize in 1999. The Fund on which the Prize is based is now administered by the ASL and the selection of the recipient is made by the ASL Committee on Prizes and Awards. The Sacks Prize will consist of a cash award plus five years free membership in the ASL. For general information about the Prize, visit http://aslonline.org/other-information/prizes-and-awards/. Anyone who wishes to make a nomination for the 2022 Sacks Prize should consult the webpage http://aslonline.org/other-information/prizes-and-awards/sacks-prize-recipients/sacks-prize-nominations/ for the precise details of the application process. A brief summary of the procedure is provided here.

Students who defend their dissertations (equivalent to the American doctoral dissertation) between October 1, 2021, and September 30, 2022, are eligible for the Prize this year. This is an international prize, with no restriction on the nationality of the candidate or the university where the doctorate is granted. Nominations should be made by the thesis advisor, and consist of: name of student, title and 1–2 page description of dissertation, date and location of the thesis defense, letter of recommendation from the advisor, an electronic copy of the thesis in pdf form, or the address of a website from which an electronic copy in pdf form can be downloaded, and an independent second letter of recommendation. Nominations and questions about the Prize should be sent to the Committee Chair, Justin Moore; pdf files sent as attachments by email to justin@math.cornell.edu are preferred. The form of such letters and other pertinent details can be found at the website above, and need to be read prior to submitting a nomination.

Those wishing to contribute to the Sacks Prize Fund may send contributions to the ASL Business Office (see address at the top of this Newsletter). All such contributions are tax-deductible within the USA.

• 2022 Shoenfield Prizes. The ASL invites nominations for the Shoenfield Prizes for outstanding expository writing in the field of logic. There are two Shoenfield prizes, one for books and one for expository articles, each to be awarded simultaneously every three years; the Shoenfield Prizes were first awarded in 2007. Any book first published in the past 9 years may be considered for the book award. Any article published in the past 6 years may be considered for the article award. Nominations should be submitted to Justin Moore (justin@math.cornell.edu), Chair of the ASL Committee on Prizes and Awards. The deadline for nominations for the 2022 Prizes is November 1, 2022.

The Shoenfield prizes were established by the ASL to honor the late Joseph R. Shoenfield for his many outstanding contributions to logic and to the ASL. Generations of logicians have especially valued Shoenfield’s expository gifts, and his writings provide models of lucidity and elegance. The ASL administers the fund on which the Prize is based and makes the award upon the recommendation of its Committee on Prizes and Awards. For general information about the Prize, see http://aslonline.org/asl-information/prizes-and-awards/.

• Open-Access Options for ASL Journals. Authors of research articles in logic, who may wish to consider submitting those articles to the Bulletin of Symbolic Logic, the Journal of Symbolic Logic, or the Review of Symbolic Logic, should be aware that these journals now offer the option of open-access publication. All three journals are now hybrid. They still accept article submissions exactly as before, and they will still publish accepted articles just as before if the author does not opt for open access. However, for authors with mandates to publish open-access articles (or who simply prefer to do so), this option is also available. Details appear at https://multimediafluids.uam.elogim.com/core/services/open-access-policies.

• Student Travel Awards: ASL and ASL-Sponsored Meetings. Student members of the ASL may apply for travel grants to ASL and ASL-sponsored meetings. These meetings are identified in the listings below. To be considered for a travel award, please (1) send a letter of application, and (2) ask your thesis supervisor to send a brief recommendation letter. The application letter should be brief (preferably one page) and should include: (1) your name; (2) your home institution; (3) your thesis supervisor’s name; (4) a one-paragraph description of your studies and work in logic, and a paragraph indicating why it is important to attend the meeting; (5) your estimate of the travel expenses you will incur; (6) (for citizens or residents of the USA) citizenship or visa status; and (7) (voluntary) indication of your gender and minority status. Women and members of minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply. Application by email is encouraged; put “ASL travel application” in the subject line of your message.

The deadlines for travel grant applications for the 2022 European Summer Meeting (Logic Colloquium) and the 2022 Simposio Latino Americano de Lógica Matemática have passed. For all ASL-sponsored meetings, applications (from student members of the ASL) and recommendations must be received at least three months prior to the start of the meeting. For all of these meetings, applications should be submitted via email to asl@uconn.edu or to the ASL Business Office (ASL, Dept. of Mathematics, Univ. of Connecticut, 341 Mansfield Road, U-1009, Storrs, CT 06269-1009, USA). Decisions will be communicated at least two months prior to the meeting.

ASL-sponsored meetings are identified as such in the list of meetings below. Official ASL meetings include the Logic Colloquium, the North American Annual Meeting, the Simposio Latino Americano de Lógica Matemática, the Asian Logic Conference, the ASL Winter Meeting, and the ASL-APA annual joint meeting.

• ASL Sponsorship of Meetings. The ASL often sponsors research meetings and conferences in logic, all over the world. Sponsorship is granted to those meetings that uphold high standards of scholarship and rigor and whose purpose is in concert with the mission of the ASL. Student members of the ASL may apply to the ASL for travel support to attend sponsored meetings, as described above, and a report on each sponsored meeting subsequently appears in the Bulletin of Symbolic Logic. Meeting organizers who are ASL members and wish to request ASL sponsorship of their meetings should do so at least six months before the beginning of the meeting, following the instructions at http://aslonline.org/sponsorship-of-meetings/.

• Status of scheduled meetings. Under the circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic and the measures in place to combat it, some logic meetings scheduled for 2022 have already been canceled or shifted online, and it is possible that more will be canceled or postponed. Information appearing here is current as of publication, but ASL members should use the URL given in each item to confirm the ongoing status of any meeting they may consider attending.

• Online logic seminars. To replace canceled meetings and seminars, certain regular online logic seminars have sprung up. A list of existing seminar series with talks available online appears at miguelmath.com/webminars.html. Additionally, the site lagrange.math.siu.edu/calvert/OnlineLogicSeminar.html has been created to host a new, purely online logic seminar. The site ctaseminar.computability.org hosts an online seminar entitled Computability Theory and Applications. The Logic Supergroup at logic.uconn.edu/supergroup/ runs an online seminar on logic across linguistics, mathematics, and philosophy. The website nylogic.github.io/ lists ongoing seminars in logic and set theory organized by the CUNY Graduate Center.

• Call for Proposals: 2024 North American Annual Meeting. The ASL Committee on Logic in North America requests proposals for the 2024 ASL North American Annual meeting to be held some time during the first five months of 2024. The committee seeks a university somewhere in North America and a local committee to host the meeting and handle the local arrangements. The ASL meetings ordinarily cycle geographically between midwest (South Bend, IN 2021), east (Ithaca, NY 2022), and west (Irvine, CA 2023). Thus, for 2024, the committee seeks a location in the midwest. However, any reasonable proposal will be considered. For more information, interested parties should contact the Committee Chair, Tom Scanlon (email: scanlon@math.berkeley.edu), ideally no later than June 15, 2022.
