First-order Nilpotent Minimum Logics: first steps

Abstract

Following the lines of the analysis done in [BPZ07, BCF07] for first-order G\"odel logics, we present an analogous investigation for Nilpotent Minimum logic NM. We study decidability and reciprocal inclusion of various sets of first-order tautologies of some subalgebras of the standard Nilpotent Minimum algebra. We establish a connection between the validity in an NM-chain of certain first-order formulas and its order type. Furthermore, we analyze axiomatizability, undecidability and the monadic fragments.

Comments

In this version of the paper the presentation has been improved. The introduction section has been rewritten, and many modifications have been done to improve the readability; moreover, numerous references have been added. Concerning the technical side, some proofs has been shortened or made more clear, but the mathematical content is substantially the same of the previous version
