Giovanni Galizia be further developed within the framework of the Excellence Strategy. Besides Director of the Zukunftskolleg the existing 2-year Postdoctoral and 5-year Research Fellowships, a new Syn- ergy Fellowship Programme will allow two fellows from different fields of rese- arch to carry out interdisciplinary research together. The Zukunftskolleg will reinforce its internationalization strategy by offering fellowships specifically for exceptional early career researchers from Africa, Asia and Latin America. The first round of those short-term fellows have already joined us at the Zukunfts- kolleg. Read more about them on pages 63–67. The Zukunftskolleg also pursues particular topics that we examine across disciplines and in different formats. This year, for example, we were fascina- ted by the subject of “migration” and named it our “topic of the term”, inspired by the “topic of the year” pursued by the international UBIAS network (Univer- Dear readers, sity-Based Institutes of Advanced Study), which we are a member of. “Migra- tion” is currently a hot topic.

There is a large class of mathematical statements that are undecidable, i.e. foundations of they cannot be shown to be true or false via means of proving or disproving them.

Fellow since 07|2016 In a philosophical reflection on this mathematical Department of development, we study how much of a conceptual change this signifies and whether the development introduces a pluralistic conception of the founda- tions of mathematics. Inconsistent

Introduction of a multiverse? Pluralistic Conception inside the Foundations of Mathematics?

A mathematical theory is labeled inconsistent if it can be shown that a contradiction holds in it. This is usually a worst case scenario and, if this hap- pens, such a theory is normally regarded as useless and should be changed or abandoned. As part of my Universe Multiverse Zukunftskolleg project “Forcing: Conceptual chan- View View ge in the foundation of mathematics'' I am investi- gating if and how the so-called set theoretic mul- tiverse has components that could be considered inconsistent while at the same time being accepted by the community of working set-theorists. The set-theoretic multiverse consists of a number of models of set theory each single one of which can be assumed to be consistent. The incon- sistency only comes up when comparing different models. It happens frequently that a mathematical sentence A holds in one model, while its negation non-A holds in a different model. As these models are all part of the multiverse, the multiverse gives rise to a situation where such a sentence considered over all the models in the multiverse is sometimes true and sometimes false. To judge how much this constitutes an inconsistency, we analyze different ways to describe such a multiverse picture, for example, by considering it as a possible world in a Kripke frame. 8 FELLOW REPORTS FELLOW REPORTS 9

An algebraic set is defined using polynomial equations and inequalities finable in tame and the logical symbol “AND”.

Successful workshop on tame expansions of o-minimal structures

On 1-4 October, 2018, P. Hieronymi (UIUC) and I organized a workshop entitled “Tame Expansions of O-minimal Structures” at the University of Kon- stanz. This workshop was a sequel to the Konstanz “Summer School in Tame Geometry” that I had co-organized in the summer of 2016. The goal of the workshop was to bring together model theorists who work on different aspects of tame geometry in order to share their latest developments on the sub- ject. We focused on (a) classification theory (tame vs non-tame), (b) structure theorems (cone decom- positions) and (c) applications (definable groups, counting theorems). The workshop was a full success, with top experts and active researchers in the field attending. The participants presented their recent results via lectures, stated open problems in specifically desi- gned sessions and collaborated in working groups. 1 Even after the workshop ended, the collaboration continued, leading to several new publications.

Colouration is an important and fascinating feature The genetics in the biology of an organism. Animals use coloura- tion and colour patterns for communication, reco- gnition and camouflage. But how are such complex of colouration patterns as the stripes of a zebra, the spots on a but- terfly wing or the iridescent color of coral reef fishes generated? In my work, I study a particularly diverse and colour- ful family of fish, the cichlids. We investigate how colour patterns in these tropical fish form during the Claudius Kratochwil development organisms. We study what parts of the genetic code define Fellow since 09|2013 colouration and colour patterns and we ask how Department of Biology changes in this genetic code result in the diversity of differences that we see between species. How evolution repeats itself

More than 1200 species of colourful ‘cichlid’ fish species can be found in the large African lakes Malawi, Victoria and Tanganyika. Because of their species richness and diversity, they have become a prime study system for evolutionary biologists. An interesting phenomenon is that these fish diversi-

fied not only in their body shapes, colour patterns Adaptive Colours and Patterns and other biological aspects, but that, at the same Function time, certain features repeatedly evolved in diffe- rent lakes. If similar colours and body shapes have Hormones emerged in several evolutionary lines independent- ly from each other, this means that evolutionary

development reacted to similar environmental con- Pigment ditions in the same way. The question is how this Brain Cell is driven by changes in the genome of these fishes? Evolutionary In a recent work published in Science (Kra- Patterns tochwil et al., 2018), we identified a single gene that Neural and Endocrine Control drives the repeated evolution of stripe patterns. This “stripe gene” agrp2 shows a higher activity (expression) in species without stripes and blocks the formation of this conspicuous pattern. The gene is less active in striped species, however, and permits the formation of the pattern. Interestingly, the same gene and change in activity is also respon- sible for the repeated evolution and loss of cichlid Developmental stripes — even across different lakes. Therefore, Basis Genetic our research provides insight into the genomic Basis basis of the striking evolutionary phenomenon of

One of the most remarkable abilities of humans is Microvariation the use of language. We can produce and understand sentences we have never heard before. I am currently investigating how humans associate sentences of a in the expression language with their meaning. For example, why does a speaker who says “There of meaning are at least three possible solutions” convey that he does not know the precise number of possible solu- tions while this is not conveyed by the prima facie equivalent sentence “There are more than three pos- Doris Penka sible solutions”? To investigate this and similar questions, I also com- Fellow since 08|2008 pare how different languages vary in their expression Department of of meaning.

Quantum theory told us almost a hundred years Theory of ago that matter as well as light have a particle and a wave-like character. This wave-particle duality leads to a strange quantum world in which atoms and light engineered fields can exist in superposition states, suspended, so to speak, between different classical realities.

These "extremophile" fish tend to evolve remarkable adaptations to cope with the toxic challenges of and hypoxic conditions of sulfide springs. Jenynsia Julián Torres-Dowdall sulfurica is no exception. Notably, it has an enlarged living in extreme head area allowing for an increase in gill surface area, Fellow since 08|2013 which is highly advantageous in the oxygen poor sulfi- Department of Biology de spring. At the molecular level we also see adaptive environments changes, particularly in proteins involved in molecular respiration. The most remarkable aspect of this new species is that these characteristics are very similar (convergent) to those found in other fish that have Evolution of asymmetric independently colonized sulfide springs in Mexico. These fishes diverged more than 60 million years ago genitalia in fish and belong to completely different lineages, yet they show convergent adaptations in morphology, behavi- our and molecular characteristics.

Com- monly, fish lay eggs that are externally fertilized. In a family of South American fish, the anablepids, however, females carry their developing embryos in their abdominal cavity and provide nutrition to them. Males, in turn, have evolved an intromittent organ for internal fertilization, which resembles a penis. Curiously, this structure is asymmetrical and both, right- and left-sided males are found wit- hin populations. In a series of studies published and pre- sented at conferences this year, we showed that the asymmetry of the gonopodium correlates with a

species’ mating behaviour and their asymmetry in male sensory organs, while improving male performance during copulation. Since all copulations are forced

in these fish, this improved performance is nee- female ded. As a consequence, there are very high levels of multiple paternity, meaning that within one brood there are offspring that were sired by up to nine different males! By contrast, in species with only left-sided males the number of sires is much lower, and one male fathers the majority of the offspring. This shows that variation in the direction of genital asymmetry results in variation in the reproductive success of males, suggesting interesting evolutio- nary dynamics driven by sexual selection. 58 59 Jour

Fixe The Jour fixe is the weekly interdis- ciplinary session for fellows from all departments. The meeting focu- ses on presentations of new pro- jects and results of current projects, introduction of new junior research groups, as well as topical discussi- ons and debates concerning high- er education policies. The fellows discuss the progress of their work, present results, share and encoun- ter questions from other discip- lines, and explore the possibilities of interdisciplinary collaboration. 60 JOUR FIXE JOUR FIXE 61

Africa, Asia and Latin America Facts Fellowship The Zukunftskolleg recently introduced AAA* Fellowships to support early career researchers from Africa, Asia and Latin America. The new fellowships will strengthen the cultural diversity at the Zukunftskolleg and stimulate the intellectual and and integrative discourse amongst its fellows. By broadening its academic horizons, the Zukunftskolleg aims to promote greater intercontinental dialogue in research.

The AAA Fellowships last three to six months, which gives the Figures fellows enough time to extend their research networks into new regions and initiate intercontinental research partners- hips. The research stays at the Zukunftskolleg also enable AAA Fellows to get to know the research environment at the University of Konstanz and enrich the scientific discussions within the university, while maintaining ties to their home university.

In its first call for AAA Fellowships (the deadline for appli- cations was 30 April 2019), the Zukunftskolleg received 206 applications for consideration. *After the publication of this call, we learned that in the 1970s and 1980s the acronym"AAA" also referred to paramilitary organizations in Argentina, Colombia and Spain. We distance ourselves from these political movements and will change the title of the fellowship with the next call. 64 AFRICA, ASIA AND LATIN AMERICA FELLOWSHIP AFRICA, ASIA AND LATIN AMERICA FELLOWSHIP 65
