In my talk I will sketch a proof that, as a formal language, the set of primitive sets of a free group is context sensitive. Time permitting, I will discuss that in the case of the free group on two generators the linguistic complexity of primitives can be brought down to EDT0L. No background in former languages is assumed - I will give all the necessary definitions.  Mathematics Building 317 Department of Mathematics math@osu.edu America/New_York public

Title: Linguistic complexity of primitive sets in free groups

Speaker: Michal Ferov -  The University of Newcastle
