This collection of papers from various areas of mathematical logic showcases the remarkable breadth and richness of the field. Leading authors reveal how contemporary technical results touch upon foundational questions about the nature of mathematics. Highlights of the volume include: a history of Tennenbaum's theorem in arithmetic; a number of papers on Tennenbaum phenomena in weak arithmetics as well as on other aspects of arithmetics, such as interpretability; the transcript of Gödel's previously unpublished 1972–1975 conversations with Sue Toledo, along with an appreciation of the same by Curtis Franks; Hugh Woodin's paper arguing against the generic multiverse view; Anne Troelstra's history of intuitionism through 1991; and Aki Kanamori's history of the Suslin problem in set theory. The book provides a historical and philosophical treatment of particular theorems in arithmetic and set theory, and is ideal for researchers and graduate students in mathematical logic and philosophy of mathematics.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Arithmetic, Geometry, Cryptography, and Coding Theory, held (online) from May 31 to June 4, 2021. For over thirty years, the biennial international conference AGC$^2$T (Arithmetic, Geometry, Cryptography, and Coding Theory) has brought researchers together to forge connections between arithmetic geometry and its applications to coding theory and to cryptography. The papers illustrate the fruitful interaction between abstract theory and explicit computations, covering a large range of topics, including Belyi maps, Galois representations attached to elliptic curves, reconstruction of curves from their Jacobians, isogeny graphs of abelian varieties, hypergeometric equations, and Drinfeld modules.
