Abstract:
The standard notion of distributed knowledge is sometimes described as what the members of the group would know of they "pool their knowledge together". This is inaccurate at best: for example, it is consistent that a group has distributed knowledge of a Moore sentence involving one of the members of the group (a sentence which cannot be known by that member, no matter how much "pooling" has taken place). In the talk I discuss a new group modality that actually captures what is true after the group have fully shared their information with each other -- after their distributed knowledge has been resolved. A key issue is the relationship between pooling and sharing: when does distributed knowledge become common knowledge? The talk is based on joint work with Yì N. Wáng.
