In the present work, a natural sequel to \cite{MaPi1}, we further discuss the existence of adjunctions between categories of institutions and of $\pi$-institutions. This is done at both a foundational and an applied level. Firstly, we…
Variables are a crucial element in logic and are also addressed in institution theory, an effort to axiomatize logic. In institution theory, we typically use extensions (signature morphisms) obtained from variables instead of introducing…
The present work presents some results about the categorial relation between logics and its categories of structures. A (propositional, finitary) logic is a pair given by a signature and Tarskian consequence relation on its formula algebra.…
We study the relationship between cartesian bicategories and a specialisation of Lawvere's hyperdoctrines, namely elementary existential doctrines. Both provide different ways of abstracting the structural properties of logical systems: the…
We develop an extension of institution theory that accommodates implicitly the partiality of the signature morphisms and its syntactic and semantic effects. This is driven primarily by applications to conceptual blending, but other…
The paper discusses the role of interpretations, understood as multifunctions that preserve and reflect logical consequence, as refinement witnesses in the general setting of pi-institutions. This leads to a smooth generalization of the…
We consider (finitary, propositional) logics through the original use of Category Theory: the study of the "sociology of mathematical objects", aligning us with a recent, and growing, trend of study logics through its relations with other…
The aim of this work is to provide a special kind of conservative translation between abstract logics, namely an \textit{abstract Glivenko's theorem}. Firstly we define institutions on the categories of logic, algebraizable logics, and…
In this paper, we use a categorical and functorial set up to model the syntax and inference of logics with algebraic signature, extending previous works on algebraisation of logics. The main feature of this work is that structurality, or…
In this paper, we study logics of dependence on the propositional level. We prove that several interesting propositional logics of dependence, including propositional dependence logic, propositional intuitionistic dependence logic as well…
We present here an abstract notion of structure consisting of propositions and realizers (which we call PR-structures) giving rise to set based contravariant functors taking values in the category of sets endowed with binary relations. We…
Conceiving of premises as collected into sets or multisets, instead of sequences, may lead to triviality for classical and intuitionistic logic in general proof theory, where we investigate identity of deductions. Any two deductions with…
Both propositional dependence logic and inquisitive logic are expressively complete. As a consequence, every formula with intuitionistic disjunction or intuitionistic implication can be translated equivalently into a formula in the language…
We study a new notion of reduction between structures called enumerable functors related to the recently investigated notion of computable functors. Our main result shows that enumerable functors and effective interpretability with the…
In this paper we prove that three of the main propositional logics of dependence (including propositional dependence logic and inquisitive logic), none of which is structural, are structurally complete with respect to a class of…
An attempt at unifying logic and functional programming is reported. As a starting point, we take the view that "logic programs" are not about logic but constitute inductive definitions of sets and relations. A skeletal language design…
The goal of this paper is to extend classical logic with a generalized notion of inductive definition supporting positive and negative induction, to investigate the properties of this logic, its relationships to other logics in the area of…
At two examples dealt with in methodologically different ways it will be pointed out how the concept of an empirical theory (in the sense of the Structuralists) can be useful to specify contents relevant to maths didactics.
We define the notion of a (P,P-tilde)-structure on a universe p in a locally cartesian closed category category C with a binary product structure and construct a (Pi,lambda)-structure on the C-systems CC(C,p) from a (P,P-tilde)-structure on…
The category of contexts underlying a model of Martin-L\"of type theory with Unit-, $\Sigma$-, and $\Pi$-types need not be locally Cartesian closed, but is necessarily a $\pi$-clan. We exploit this $\pi$-clan structure to build the theory…
