DESCRIPTION:Slawomir Solecki (Cornell University)\nFraïssé theory is a 
 method in classical Model Theory of producing canonical limits of certain 
 families of finite structures. For example\, the random graph is the Fra
 ïssé limit of the family of all finite graphs. It turns out that this m
 ethod can be dualized\, with the dualization producing projective Fraïss
 é limits\, and applied to the study of compact metric spaces. I will des
 cribe recent results\, due to several people\, on connections between proj
 ective Fraïssé limits and the structure of some canonical compact space
 s and their homeomorphism groups (the pseudoarc\, the Menger curve\, the L
 elek fan\, simplexes with the goal of developing a projective Fraïssé h
 omology theory).
