We extend the logical categories framework to first order modal logic. In our modal categories, modal operators are applied directly to subobjects and interact with the background factorization system. We prove a Joyal-style representation…

A formal context consists of objects, properties, and the incidence relation between them. Various notions of concepts defined with respect to formal contexts and their associated algebraic structures have been studied extensively,…

We define the notion of a model of higher-order modal logic in an arbitrary elementary topos $\mathcal{E}$. In contrast to the well-known interpretation of (non-modal) higher-order logic, the type of propositions is not interpreted by the…

In this article we investigate the notion and basic properties of Boolean algebras and prove the Stone's representation theorem. The relations of Boolean algebras to logic and to set theory will be studied and, in particular, a neat proof…

Structures based on polarities have been used to provide relational semantics for propositional logics that are modelled algebraically by non-distributive lattices with additional operators. This article develops a first order notion of…

A preordered topological space is a topological space with a preordering. We exhibit a Stone-like duality for preordered topological spaces, Inspired by a similar duality for bitopological spaces, due to Jung-Moshier and Jakl, and by a…

The mathematical framework of Stone duality is used to synthesize a number of hitherto separate developments in Theoretical Computer Science: - Domain Theory, the mathematical theory of computation introduced by Scott as a foundation for…

The fundamental duality theories relating algebra and geometry that were discovered in the mid-20th century can also be applied to logic via its algebraization under categorical logic. They thereby result in known and new completeness…

Categorical Universal Logic is a theory of monad-relativised hyperdoctrines (or fibred universal algebras), which in particular encompasses categorical forms of both first-order and higher-order quantum logics as well as classical,…

We extend Stone duality between generalized Boolean algebras and Boolean spaces, which are the zero-dimensional locally-compact Hausdorff spaces, to a non-commutative setting. We first show that the category of right-handed skew Boolean…

We investigate mathematical structures that provide natural semantics for families of (quantified) non-classical logics featuring special unary connectives, known as recovery operators, that allow us to 'recover' the properties of classical…

A co-valuation is, essentially, a minimal finite cover. We introduce a logic based on co-valuations, which play the role of valuations of free variables in classical first-order logic, and show that the fundamental tools of model theory --…

This paper is a study of first-order coherent logic from the point of view of duality and categorical logic. We prove a duality theorem between coherent hyperdoctrines and open polyadic Priestley spaces, which we subsequently apply to prove…

In traditional semantics for classical logic and its extensions, such as modal logic, propositions are interpreted as subsets of a set, as in discrete duality, or as clopen sets of a Stone space, as in topological duality. A point in such a…

We present algebraic semantics for the classical logic of proofs based on Boolean algebras. We also extend the language of the logic of proofs in order to have a Boolean structure on justification terms and equality predicate on terms. In…

Monadic second order logic is the expansion of first order logic by quantifiers ranging over unary relations. We study the shared monadic second order theory of finite linear orders, i.e. the pseudofinite monadic second order theory of…

We present a Stone duality for bitopological spaces in analogy to the duality between Stone spaces and Boolean algebras, in the same vein as the duality between d-sober bitopological spaces and spatial d-frames established by Jung and…

We analyse the pseudofinite monadic second order theory of words over a fixed finite alphabet. In particular we present an axiomatisation of this theory, working in a one-sorted first order framework. The analysis hinges on the fact that…

This is an essay in what might be called ``mathematical metaphysics.'' There is a fundamental duality that run through mathematics and the natural sciences. The duality starts as the logical level; it is represented by the Boolean logic of…

The Univalent Foundations requires a logic that allows us to define structures on homotopy types, similar to how first-order logic with equality ($\text{FOL}_=$) allows us to define structures on sets. We develop the syntax, semantics and…
