Topological semantics of conservativity and interpretability logics

Logic 2021-09-14 v2

Abstract

We introduce and develop a topological semantics of conservativity logics and interpretability logics. We prove the topological compactness theorem of consistent normal extensions of the conservativity logic CL\mathbf{CL} by extending Shehtman's ultrabouquet construction method to our framework. As a consequence, we prove that several extensions of CL\mathbf{CL} such as IL\mathbf{IL}, ILM\mathbf{ILM}, ILP\mathbf{ILP} and ILW\mathbf{ILW} are strongly complete with respect to our topological semantics.
