A Proof Theory for Profinite Modal Algebras

Abstract

In a previous paper, we showed that profinite LL-algebras (where LL is a variety of modal algebras generated by its finite members) are monadic over Set\mathbf{Set}. This monadicity result suggests that profinite LL-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 LK\mathbf{LK}. We also investigate correspondences between syntactic properties of the calculi and regularity/exactness properties of the opposite category of profinite LL-algebras.
