A Topological Completeness Theorem for Transfinite Provability Logic

Logic 2019-05-07 v2

Abstract

We prove a topological completeness theorem for the modal logic GLP containing operators λ\langle\lambda\rangle for λ\lambda \in Ord intended to capture progressively stronger notions of consistency in mathematical theories. We show that, given a scattered space XX of large-enough rank, any sentence ϕ\phi consistent with GLP can be satisfied in a polytopological space based on the finitely many Icard topologies over XX that correspond to the finitely many modalities appearing in ϕ\phi.
