Age, Biography and Wiki

Robert Lawson Vaught is a mathematician who is best known for his work in model theory. He was born on April 4, 1926 in Alhambra, California. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1948 and his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1951. Vaught has made significant contributions to the field of model theory, including the Vaught Conjecture, which states that any countable theory has either a countable or an uncountable model. He has also worked on the theory of algebraic groups, the theory of real closed fields, and the theory of ordered fields. Vaught has been a professor at the University of California, Berkeley since 1951 and is currently a professor emeritus. He has received numerous awards and honors, including the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition from the American Mathematical Society in 1989 and the National Medal of Science in 2000. Vaught is married to his wife, Mary, and has two children. He is 76 years old.

Timeline

1957

In 1957, Vaught married Marilyn Maca; they had two children.

Vaught's work is primarily focused on model theory. In 1957, he and Tarski introduced elementary submodels and the Tarski–Vaught test characterizing them. In 1962, he and Michael D. Morley pioneered the concept of a saturated structure. His investigations on countable models of first-order theories led him to the Vaught conjecture stating that the number of countable models of a complete first-order theory (in a countable language) is always either finite, or countably infinite, or equinumerous with the real numbers. Vaught's "Never 2" theorem states that a complete first-order theory cannot have exactly two nonisomorphic countable models.

1946

In 1946, he began a Ph.D. in mathematics at Berkeley. He initially worked under the supervision of the topologist John L. Kelley, writing on C* algebras. In 1950, in response to McCarthyite pressures, Berkeley required all staff to sign a loyalty oath. Kelley declined and moved his career to Tulane University for three years. Vaught then began afresh under the supervision of Alfred Tarski, completing in 1954 a thesis on mathematical logic, titled Topics in the Theory of Arithmetical Classes and Boolean Algebras. After spending four years at the University of Washington, Vaught returned to Berkeley in 1958, where he remained until his 1991 retirement.

1945

Vaught was a musical prodigy in his youth, in his case playing the piano. He began his university studies at Pomona College, at age 16. When World War II broke out, he enlisted into the US Navy, which assigned him to the University of California's V-12 program. He graduated in 1945 with an AB in physics.

1926

Robert Lawson Vaught (April 4, 1926 – April 2, 2002) was a mathematical logician and one of the founders of model theory.
