On the relative strengths of fragments of collection
Let be the basic set theory that consists of the axioms of
extensionality, emptyset, pair, union, powerset, infinity, transitive
containment, -separation and set foundation. This paper studies the
relative strength of set theories obtained by adding fragments of the
set-theoretic collection scheme to . We focus on two common
parameterisations of collection: -collection, which is the usual
collection scheme restricted to -formulae, and strong
-collection, which is equivalent to -collection plus
-separation. The main result of this paper shows that for all ,
(1) proves the consistency of Zermelo Set Theory plus
-collection,
(2) the theory is
-conservative over the theory .
It is also shown that (2) holds for when the Axiom of Choice is
included in the base theory. The final section indicates how the proofs of (1)
and (2) can be modified to obtain analogues of these results for theories
obtained by adding fragments of collection to a base theory (Kripke-Platek Set
Theory with Infinity and ) that does not include the powerset axiom.Comment: 22 page

Disrupting the digital giants â advertisers and traditional media push back
The downside of digital giants like Facebook and Google includes the increase in fake news, political polarisation, the dumbing down of debate and the long-term decline in print journalism as newspapers lose readers and advertising to these platforms. But a combination of problems with digital advertising â fraud, mismeasurement, and programmatic ad placement on undesirable sites â means that advertisers and traditional media are starting to push back. The battle for advertising may be entering a new phase, with a better balance between old and new media. This post is based on a presentation by Patrick Barwise (London Business School) at the Oxford Media Convention 2017

Committee, Government Diverging on Convergence?
The House of Lords Select Committee on Communications begins taking oral evidence next Tuesday in its Inquiry on Media Convergence and its Public Policy Impact. It is a broad inquiry, attempting to take in some of the high level issues that the Communications Review and the Leveson Inquiry are unwilling, or unable, to cover. It proposes to cover very general issues related to convergence of media asking whether there should be some kind of over-arching regulatory framework for broadcasting and the internet, and asks for suggestions for a âguiding principleâ for policy on convergence
