Timeline

1955

William Hugh Woodin (born April 23, 1955) is an American mathematician and set theorist at Harvard University.

He has made many notable contributions to the theory of inner models and determinacy.

A type of large cardinals, the Woodin cardinals, bear his name.

In 2023, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.

1984

Born in Tucson, Arizona, Woodin earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1984 under Robert M. Solovay.

His dissertation title was Discontinuous Homomorphisms of C(Ω) and Set Theory.

2000

He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2000.

He is the great-grandson of William Hartman Woodin, former Secretary of the Treasury.

He has done work on the theory of generic multiverses and the related concept of Ω-logic, which suggested an argument that the continuum hypothesis is either undecidable or false in the sense of mathematical platonism.

Woodin criticizes this view arguing that it leads to a counterintuitive reduction in which all truths in the set theoretical universe can be decided from a small part of it.

He claims that these and related mathematical results lead (intuitively) to the conclusion that the continuum hypothesis has a truth value and the Platonistic approach is reasonable.

Woodin now predicts that there should be a way of constructing an inner model for almost all known large cardinals, which he calls the Ultimate L and which would have similar properties as Gödel's constructible universe.

In particular, the continuum hypothesis would be true in this universe.

2002

He served as chair of the Berkeley mathematics department for the 2002–2003 academic year.

Woodin is a managing editor of the Journal of Mathematical Logic.

2008

In 2008, Woodin held the Gödel Lecture titled The Continuum Hypothesis, the Conjecture, and the inner model problem of one supercompact cardinal.
