Temporal logics over finite traces are not the same as temporal logics over potentially infinite traces. Ro\c{s}u first proved completeness for linear temporal logic on finite traces (LTLf) with a novel coinductive axiom. We offer a…

We study positional properties in the context of game-based reactive synthesis. Our motivation stems from having a usable specification logic, for which tractable synthesis is guaranteed. We demonstrate that every $\omega$-regular…

Writing temporal logic formulae for properties that combine instantaneous events with overlapping temporal phenomena of some duration is difficult in classical temporal logics. To address this issue, in previous work we introduced a new…

Until is a notoriously difficult temporal operator as it is both existential and universal at the same time: A until B holds at the current time instant w iff either B holds at w or there exists a time instant w' in the future at which B…

We investigate ontology-based data access to temporal data. We consider temporal ontologies given in linear temporal logic LTL interpreted over discrete time (Z,<). Queries are given in LTL or MFO(<), monadic first-order logic with a…

We show that metric temporal logic can be viewed as linear time-invariant filtering, by interpreting addition, multiplication, and their neutral elements, over the (max,min,0,1) idempotent dioid. Moreover, by interpreting these operators…

The standard formulation of quantum theory assumes a predefined notion of time. This is a major obstacle in the search for a quantum theory of gravity, where the causal structure of space-time is expected to be dynamical and fundamentally…

We prove a dichotomy regarding the behavior of one-parameter unipotent flows on quotients of semisimple lie groups under time change. We show that if $u^{(1)}_t$ acting on $G_{1}/\Gamma_1$ is such a flow it satisfies exactly one of the…

We study the positive logic FO+ on finite words, and its fragments, pursuing and refining the work initiated in [Kuperberg 2023]. First, we transpose notorious logic equivalences into positive first-order logic: FO+ is equivalent to LTL+ ,…

We consider G\"odel temporal logic ($\sf GTL$), a variant of linear temporal logic based on G\"odel--Dummett propositional logic. In recent work, we have shown this logic to enjoy natural semantics both as a fuzzy logic and as a…

While the complexity of translating future linear temporal logic (LTL) into automata on infinite words is well-understood, the size increase involved in turning automata back to LTL is not. In particular, there is no known elementary bound…
