Space and time via Topological and Tense cylindric algebras
Abstract
Let be an arbritary ordinal, and . In \cite{3} accepted for publication in Quaestiones Mathematicae, we studied using algebraic logic, interpolation, amalgamation using many variables for topological logic with many variables briefly . This is a sequel to \cite{3}; the second part on modal cylindric algebras, where we study algebraically other properties of . Modal cylindric algebras are cylindric algebras of infinite dimension expanded with unary modalities inheriting their semantics from a unimodal logic such as or . Using the methodology of algebraic logic, we study topological (when ), in symbols . We study completeness and omitting types s for and , by proving several representability results for locally finite such algebras. Furthermore, we study the notion of atom-canonicity for both and , a well known persistence property in modal logic, in connection to for and , respectively. We study representability, omitting types, interpolation and complexity isssues (such as undecidability) for topological cylindric algebras. In a sequel to this paper, we introduce temporal cyindric algebras and point out the way how to amalgamate algebras of space (topological algebars) and algebras of time (temporal algebras) forming topological-temporal cylindric algebras that lend themselves to encompassing spacetime gemetries, in a purely algebraic manner.
