Leo Esakia

The Fifth International Conference on Topology, Algebra and Categories in Logic is dedicated to the memory of the Georgian logician Leo Esakia (1934-2010).

Leo was the founder of the logic school in Georgia. He made numerous important contributions to the study of algebraic and topological semantics of modal and intuitionistic logics. Several landmark theorems in the field bear his name. Leo also contributed immensely to establishing a strong research community working on algebraic, topological, and categorical methods in logic. In particular, he was one of the driving forces in establishing the TACL conference series.

In Leo's honour there will be a special session during the conference; three of the invited speakers will be giving their talk in this session: Lev Beklemishev, David Gabelaia, and Mamuka Jibladze. In addition there will be a special memorial talk on the life and work of Leo Esakia, delivered by the chair of this session: Guram Bezhanishvili.

The program committee specially encourages submissions related to the work of Leo Esakia, and may select some of these submission for presentation at the special session.
