We study an extension of first-order logic that allows to express cardinality conditions in a similar way as SQL's COUNT operator. The corresponding logic FOC(P) was introduced by Kuske and Schweikardt (LICS'17), who showed that query…

For a relational Horn theory $\mathbb{T}$, we provide useful sufficient conditions for the exponentiability of objects and morphisms in the category $\mathbb{T}\text{-}\mathsf{Mod}$ of $\mathbb{T}$-models; well-known examples of such…

As mathematical induction is applied to prove statements on natural numbers, {\it continuous induction} (or, {\it real induction}) is a tool to prove some statements in real analysis.(Although, this comparison is somehow an overstatement.)…

Recent years have witnessed a renewed interest in Boolean function in explaining binary classifiers in the field of explainable AI (XAI). The standard approach of Boolean function is propositional logic. We present a modal language of a…

If T is an iteration tree on K and F is a countably certified extender that coheres with the final model of T, then F is on the extender sequence of the final model of T. Several applications of maximality are proved, including: o K…

For each $n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $[n]\phi$ mean "the sentence $\phi$ is true in all $\Sigma_{n+1}$-correct transitive sets." Assuming G\"odel's axiom $V = L$, we prove the following graded variant of Solovay's completeness theorem: the set of…

In this paper we determine the complexity of a broad class of problems that extends the temporal constraint satisfaction problems. To be more precise we study the problems Poset-SAT($\Phi$), where $\Phi$ is a given set of quantifier-free…

We study compactness and L\"owenheim-Skolem properties of fragments of the class-sized logic $\mathcal{L}_{\infty \infty}$ and of class-sized versions of second-order and sort logics. In these fragments, certain combinations of infinitary…

We study the notion of $\mathcal J$-MAD families where $\mathcal J$ is a Borel ideal on $\omega$. We show that if $\mathcal J$ is an arbitrary $F_\sigma$ ideal, or is any finite or countably iterated Fubini product of $F_\sigma$ ideals,…

Proving proof-size lower bounds for $\mathbf{LK}$, the sequent calculus for classical propositional logic, remains a major open problem in proof complexity. We shed new light on this challenge by isolating the power of structural rules,…
