Abstract
In a previous paper, we showed that profinite -algebras (where is a variety of modal algebras generated by its finite members) are monadic over . This monadicity result suggests that profinite -algebras could be presented as Lindenbaum algebras for propositional theories in infinitary versions of propositional modal calculi. In this paper we identify such calculi as modal enrichments of Maehara-Takeuti's infinitary extension of the sequent calculus . We also investigate correspondences between syntactic properties of the calculi and regularity/exactness properties of the opposite category of profinite -algebras.
