In this paper, we develop a quantified propositional proof systems that corresponds to logarithmic-space reasoning. We begin by defining a class SigmaCNF(2) of quantified formulas that can be evaluated in log space. Then our new proof…

The article proposes a new technique for proving the undefinability of logical connectives through each other and illustrates the technique with several examples. Some of the obtained results are new proofs of the existing theorems, others…

In this note we observe that automated theorem provers (ATPs) that recursively enumerate theorems in a particular way will fail to identify some valid theorems for a reason that is analogous to how G\"odel proved the existence of what are…

For an infinite group $G$, the poset $\mathcal{L}_G$ of group topologies constitutes a complete lattice. Although $\mathcal{L}_G$ is modular when $G$ is abelian, this property fails to persist for nilpotent groups. Extending Arnautov's 2010…

In 1968, John Thompson proved that a finite group G is solvable if and only if every 2-generator subgroup of G is solvable. In this paper, we prove that solvability of a finite group G is guaranteed by a seemingly weaker condition: G is…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an atomless Boolean algebra to be countably generated, and use it to give new proofs of some some know facts due to Gaifman-Hales and Solovay and also due to Jech, Kunen and Magidor. We also…

This paper is devoted to systematic studies of some extensions of first-order G\"odel logic. The first extension is the first-order rational G\"odel logic which is an extension of first-order G\"odel logic, enriched by countably many…

In this paper we consider the problem of Galois descent for suitably completed algebraic K-theory of fields. One of the main results is a suitable form of rigidity for Borel-style generalized equivariant cohomology with respect to certain…

In this paper, we study Cyclic Henkin Logic CHL, a logic that can be described as provability logic without the third L\"ob condition, to wit, that provable implies provably provable (aka principle 4). The logic CHL does have full modalised…

In this paper, we study a new Kripke-style semantics for classical modal logic, named as provability models. We study provability models for the propositional modal logics K, K4, S4 GL, GLP and the interpretability logic ILM. Provability…

The Bayesian framework is a well-studied and successful framework for inductive reasoning, which includes hypothesis testing and confirmation, parameter estimation, sequence prediction, classification, and regression. But standard…

In a joint work with N. Mok in 1997, we proved that for an irreducible representation $G \subset {\bf GL}(V),$ if a holomorphic $G$-structure exists on a uniruled projective manifold, then the Lie algebra of $G$ has nonzero prolongation. We…

We show that for any $i > 0$, it is decidable, given a regular language, whether it is expressible in the $\Sigma_i[<]$ fragment of first-order logic FO[<]. This settles a question open since 1971. Our main technical result relies on the…

Godelian sentences of a sufficiently strong and recursively enumerable theory, constructed in Godel's 1931 groundbreaking paper on the incompleteness theorems, are unprovable if the theory is consistent; however, they could be refutable.…
