Local tabularity in MS4 with Casari's axiom
Abstract
We study local tabularity (local finiteness) in some extensions of (monadic ). Our main result is a semantic characterization of local finiteness in varieties of -algebras, where denotes the extension of by the Casari axiom. We improve this to a syntactic criterion via the reducible path property identified in [Shap16], and note that the product logic is an extension of , obtaining a criterion for extensions of as an application. Next, we give a characterization of local finiteness in varieties of -algebras, where denotes the extension of by the Barcan axiom. We demonstrate that our methods cannot be extended beyond depth 2, as we give a translation of the fusion into for that preserves and reflects local finiteness, suggesting that a characterization there remains difficult. Finally, we also establish the finite model property for some of these logics which are not known to be locally tabular.
