Pointwise intersection in neighbourhood modal logic
Abstract
We study the logic of neighbourhood models with pointwise intersection, as a means to characterize multi-modal logics. Pointwise intersection takes us from a set of neighbourhood sets (one for each member of a set , used to interpret the modality ) to a new neighbourhood set , which in turn allows us to interpret the operator . Here, is in the neighbourhood for if and only if equals the intersection of some . We show that the notion of pointwise intersection has various applications in epistemic and doxastic logic, deontic logic, coalition logic, and evidence logic. We then establish sound and strongly complete axiomatizations for the weakest logic characterized by pointwise intersection and for a number of variants, using a new and generally applicable technique for canonical model construction.
