Abstract
The Baire algebra of a topological space is the quotient of the algebra of all subsets of modulo the meager sets. We show that this Boolean algebra can be endowed with a natural closure operator, resulting in a closure algebra which we denote . We identify the modal logic of such algebras to be the well-known system , and prove soundness and strong completeness for the cases where is crowded and either completely metrizable and continuum-sized or locally compact Hausdorff. We also show that every extension of is the modal logic of a subalgebra of , and that soundness and strong completeness also holds in the language with the universal modality.
