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…

We present a version of G\"odel's Second Incompleteness Theorem for recursively enumerable consistent extensions of a fixed axiomatizable theory, by incorporating some bi-theoretic version of the derivability conditions. We also argue that…

We propose a new framework for integrating quantifiers with other logical connectives in a higher-categorical setting. Our method systematically incorporates key coherence conditions-including those akin to the Beck-Chevalley property-and…

In this paper, we provide a fairly general self-reference-free proof of the Second Incompleteness Theorem from Tarski's Theorem of the Undefinability of Truth.

We investigate an unsuspected connection between logical connectives with non-harmonious deduction rules, such as Prior's tonk, and quantum computing. We argue that these connectives model the information-erasure, the non-reversibility, and…

We develop a second-order extension of intuitionistic modal logic, allowing quantification over propositions, both syntactically and semantically. A key feature of second-order logic is its capacity to define positive connectives from the…

This paper presents a type theory in which it is possible to directly manipulate $n$-dimensional cubes (points, lines, squares, cubes, etc.) based on an interpretation of dependent type theory in a cubical set model. This enables new ways…

The usual reading of logical implication "A implies B" as "if A then B" fails in intuitionistic logic: there are formulas A and B such that "A implies B" is not provable, even though B is provable whenever A is provable. Intuitionistic…

Our main result (Theorem A) shows the incompleteness of any consistent sequential theory T formulated in a finite language such that T is axiomatized by a collection of sentences of bounded quantifier-alternation-depth. Our proof employs an…

This paper introduces an expressive class of quotient-inductive types, called QW-types. We show that in dependent type theory with uniqueness of identity proofs, even the infinitary case of QW-types can be encoded using the combination of…

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…

Danos and Regnier introduced generalized (non-binary) multiplicative connectives in Danos and Regnier [2]. They showed that there exist generalized multiplicative connectives that cannot be defined by any combination of the tensor and par…

We propose a logic of interactive proofs as a framework for an intuitionistic foundation for interactive computation, which we construct via an interactive analog of the Goedel-McKinsey-Tarski-Artemov definition of Intuitionistic Logic as…

We study $[0,1]$-valued logics that are closed under the {\L}ukasiewicz-Pavelka connectives; our primary examples are the the continuous logic framework of Ben Yaacov and Usvyatsov \cite{Ben-Yaacov-Usvyatsov:2010} and the…

We prove a conjecture about the constructibility of coinductive types - in the principled form of indexed M-types - in Homotopy Type Theory. The conjecture says that in the presence of inductive types, coinductive types are derivable.…

We prove two (strong) undefinability results for logics based on inquisitive semantics (or its variant, team semantics). Namely: 1) we show the undefinability of intuitionistic implication in extended propositional inquisitive logic with…

In the pure Calculus of Constructions (CC) one can define data types and function over these, and there is a powerful higher order logic to reason over these functions and data types. This is due to the combination of impredicativity and…

While behavioural equivalences among systems of the same type, such as Park/Milner bisimilarity of labelled transition systems, are an established notion, a systematic treatment of relationships between systems of different type is…

We prove the non-abelian Poincare lemma in higher gauge theory in two different ways. The first method uses a result by Jacobowitz which states solvability conditions for differential equations of a certain type. The second method extends a…
