This paper examines the application of Tarski's Undefinability Theorem to first-order arithmetic. The generally accepted view is that for this case the Theorem establishes that arithmetic truth is not arithmetic. A careful examination of…

Intuitionistic dependence logic was introduced by Abramsky and Vaananen (2009) as a variant of dependence logic under a general construction of Hodges' (trump) team semantics. It was proven that there is a translation from intuitionistic…

This note sketches the extension of the basic characterisation theorems as the bisimulation-invariant fragment of first-order logic to modal logic with graded modalities and matching adaptation of bisimulation. We focus on showing…

We revisit the work studying homomorphism preservation for first-order logic in sparse classes of structures initiated in [Atserias et al., JACM 2006] and [Dawar, JCSS 2010]. These established that first-order logic has the homomorphism…

We show that the intuitionistic propositional logic with a Galois connection (IntGC), introduced by the authors, has the finite model property.

We study propositional and first-order G\"odel logics over infinitary languages which are motivated semantically by corresponding interpretations into the unit interval [0,1]. We provide infinitary Hilbert-style calculi for the particular…

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…

Succinctness is a natural measure for comparing the strength of different logics. Intuitively, a logic L_1 is more succinct than another logic L_2 if all properties that can be expressed in L_2 can be expressed in L_1 by formulas of…

We find an order-theoretic characterization of the Lindenbaum algebra of intuitionistic propositional logic in n variables.

This paper investigates the expressiveness of a fragment of first-order sentences in Gaifman normal form, namely the positive Boolean combinations of basic local sentences. We show that they match exactly the first-order sentences preserved…

This report first shows the equivalence bewteen several formulations of classical logic in intuitionistic logic (tertium non datur, reductio ad absurdum, Pierce's law). Then it establishes the correctness of the G\"odel-Kolmogorov…

We consider the family of guarded and unguarded ordered logics, that constitute a recently rediscovered family of decidable fragments of first-order logic (FO), in which the order of quantification of variables coincides with the order in…

This paper is a contribution to graded model theory, in the context of mathematical fuzzy logic. We study characterizations of classes of graded structures in terms of the syntactic form of their first-order axiomatization. We focus on…

Analogues of Scott's isomorphism theorem, Karp's theorem as well as results on lack of compactness and strong completeness are established for infinitary propositional relevant logics. An "interpolation theorem" (of a particular sort…

We give a calculus for reasoning about the first-order fragment of classical logic that is adequate for giving the truth conditions of intuitionistic Kripke frames, and outline a proof-theoretic soundness and completeness proof, which we…

We bring forward a logical system of transition algebras that enhances many-sorted first-order logic using features from dynamic logics. The sentences we consider include compositions, unions, and transitive closures of transition…

We continue work of our earlier paper (Lewitzka and Brunner: Minimally generated abstract logics, Logica Universalis 3(2), 2009), where abstract logics and particularly intuitionistic abstract logics are studied. Abstract logics can be…

This note contains some material promised in our earlier papers on submodel preservation and the guarded fragment, along with some information on the current status of the problems mentioned in these papers. Section 1 contains an early…

The paper continues the line of model-theoretic characterizations for versions of intuitionistic logic previously achieved by the author, further generalizing them. This results in a model-theoretic characterization of expressive powers of…

For a given intuitionistic propositional formula A and a propositional variable x occurring in it, define the infinite sequence of formulae { A \_i | i$\ge$1} by letting A\_1 be A and A\_{i+1} be A(A\_i/x). Ruitenburg's Theorem [8] says…
