معرفی
Jindrich Zapletal is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Florida, affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. from The Pennsylvania State University (1995), advised by Thomas Jech. His research focuses on set theory, mathematical logic, and their applications, with specializations in descriptive set theory, combinatorial set theory, and forcing techniques. He is a core member of the UF Logic and Set Theory Group, which organizes the annual South Eastern Logic Symposium (SEALS), funded by the NSF. He teaches advanced courses like Invariant Descriptive Set Theory and has advised numerous graduate students. His work frequently explores consistency results under ZF set theory, chromatic numbers of hypergraphs, and interactions between forcing and topology. He actively contributes to conferences and has co-authored influential textbooks and monographs in set theory and logic.

Zapletal’s research emphasizes foundational questions in set theory, particularly under weaker axioms like ZF+DC, and their implications for algebra, topology, and combinatorics. His recent work includes studies on chromatic numbers of geometric hypergraphs and the structure of sigma-ideals in Polish spaces. Collaborations span topics like permutation models, game determinacy, and measure-theoretic forcing.
