We study expansions of Hilbert spaces with a bounded normal operator $T$. We axiomatize this theory in a natural language and identify all of its completions. We prove the definability of the adjoint $T^*$ and prove quantifier elimination…
This thesis aims to provide a suite of techniques to generate completeness results for coalgebraic logics with axioms of arbitrary rank. We have chosen to investigate the possibility to generalize what is arguably one of the most successful…
A completeness conjecture is advanced concerning the free small-colimit completion P(A) of a (possibly large) category A. The conjecture is based on the existence of a small generating-cogenerating set of objects in A. We sketch how the…
We study versions of Kleene algebra with dynamic tests, that is, extensions of Kleene algebra with domain and antidomain operators. We show that Kleene algebras with tests and Propositional dynamic logic correspond to special cases of the…
We introduce the completeness problem for Modal Logic and examine its complexity. For a definition of completeness for formulas, given a formula of a modal logic, the completeness problem asks whether the formula is complete for that logic.…
An operator set is functionally incomplete if it can not represent the full set $\lbrace \neg,\vee,\wedge,\rightarrow,\leftrightarrow\rbrace$. The verification for the functional incompleteness highly relies on constructive proofs. The…
It is shown that by eliminating duality theory of vector spaces from a recent proof of Kouba (O. Kouba, A duality based proof of the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz. Electron. J. Combin. 16 (2009), #N9) one obtains a direct proof of the…
This is a study of S. Kripke's notion of fulfilment. Motivated by Paris-Harrington statement, Kripke was looking for a proof of G\"odel's Incompleteness Theorem which was model-theoretic, natural (without self-reference), and easy.…
We exhibit a uniform method for obtaining (wellfounded and non-wellfounded) cut-free sequent-style proof systems that are sound and complete for various classes of action algebras, i.e., Kleene algebras enriched with meets and residuals.…
Canonical models are of central importance in modal logic, in particular as they witness strong completeness and hence compactness. While the canonical model construction is well understood for Kripke semantics, non-normal modal logics…
There has been a long-standing question about whether being perfectoid for an algebra is local in the analytic topology. We provide affirmative answers for the algebras (e.g., over $\overline{\mathbb{Z}_p}$) whose spectra are inverse limits…
Axiomatization and expressibility problems for Milner's process semantics (1984) of regular expressions modulo bisimilarity have turned out to be difficult for the full class of expressions with deadlock 0 and empty step~1. We report on a…
This booklet serves as an introduction to Kleene Algebra (KA), a set of laws that can be used to study general equivalences between programs. It discusses how general programs can be modeled using regular expressions, how those expressions…
This paper investigates neighborhood and algebraic models for predicate modal logics with $\omega$-rules, including non-normal cases. We establish sufficient conditions under which such logics have neighborhood models with constant domains…
Starting from the results of Charles Fefferman and Janos Koll\'ar in \texit{Continuous Solutions of Linear Equations} [1], we adopt a new approach based on Fefferman's techniques of Glaeser refinement to show a more general result than the…
We propose a generalization of first-order logic originating in a neglected work by C.C. Chang: a natural and generic correspondence language for any types of structures which can be recast as Set-coalgebras. We discuss axiomatization and…
We give another proof of a theorem of Fife - understood broadly as providing a finite automaton that gives a complete description of all infinite binary overlap-free words. Our proof is significantly simpler than those in the literature. As…
We prove that any $q$-automatic completely multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$ essentially coincides with a Dirichlet character. This answers a question of J. P. Allouche and L. Goldmakher and confirms a conjecture of J.…
We consider the Lambek calculus, or non-commutative multiplicative intuitionistic linear logic, extended with iteration, or Kleene star, axiomatised by means of an $\omega$-rule, and prove that the derivability problem in this calculus is…
The famous G\"odel incompleteness theorem states that for every consistent sufficiently rich formal theory T there exist true statements that are unprovable in T. Such statements would be natural candidates for being added as axioms, but…
