Don Monk

My present research interests are the theory of infinite Boolean algebras and related set-theoretic topics, such as continuum cardinals and pcf theory. My previous research was in algebraic logic (cylindric algebras and relation algebras), and I also did some work in pure logic, set theory, and universal algebra. The files below are in postscript or pdf form, gzipped, tarred if several files are combined.
