We introduce our implementation in HOL Light of the metatheory for G\"odel-L\"ob provability logic (GL), covering soundness and completeness w.r.t. possible world semantics and featuring a prototype of a theorem prover for GL itself. The…

Let $\mathcal{PL}({\sf T},{\sf T}')$ and $\mathcal{PL}_{\Sigma_1}({\sf T},{\sf T}')$ respectively indicates the provability logic and $\Sigma_1$-provability logic of ${\sf T}$ relative in ${\sf T}'$. In this paper we characterize the…

The forcing method is a powerful tool to prove the consistency of set-theoretic assertions relative to the consistency of the axioms of set theory. Laver's theorem and Bukovsk\'y's theorem assert that set-generic extensions of a given…

We study the relationship between Amoeba forcing (the partial order which generically adds a measure one set of random reals) and projective measurability. Given a universe V of set theory and a forcing notion P in V we say that V is…

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…

This paper investigates the logical strength of completeness theorems for modal propositional logic within second-order arithmetic. We demonstrate that the weak completeness theorem for modal propositional logic is provable in…

Various theorems for the preservation of set-theoretic axioms under forcing are proved, regarding both forcing axioms and axioms true in the Levy-Collapse. These show in particular that certain applications of forcing axioms require to add…

We propose a modal study of the notion of bisimulation. Our contribution is threefold. First, we extend the basic modal language with a new modality $\nbi$, whose intended meaning is universal quantification over all states that are…

We deal with the fragment of modal logic consisting of implications of formulas built up from the variables and the constant `true' by conjunction and diamonds only. The weaker language allows one to interpret the diamonds as the uniform…

For each $n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $[n]\phi$ mean "the sentence $\phi$ is true in all $\Sigma_{n+1}$-correct transitive sets." Assuming G\"odel's axiom $V = L$, we prove the following graded variant of Solovay's completeness theorem: the set of…

Non-additive uncertainty theories, typically possibility theory, belief functions and imprecise probabilities share a common feature with modal logic: the duality properties between possibility and necessity measures, belief and…

We develop the first two heap logics that have implicit heaplets and that admit FO-complete program verification. The notion of FO-completeness is a theoretical guarantee that all theorems that are valid when recursive definitions are…

We introduce the logics GLP(\Lambda), a generalization of Japaridze's polymodal provability logic GLP(\omega) where \Lambda is any linearly ordered set representing a hierarchy of provability operators of increasing strength. We shall…

There is a polymodal provability logic $GLP$. We consider generalizations of this logic: the logics $GLP_{\alpha}$, where $\alpha$ ranges over linear ordered sets and play the role of the set of indexes of modalities. We consider the…

We introduce a modal logic FIL for Feferman interpretability. In this logic both the provability modality and the interpretability modality can come with a label. This label indicates that in the arithmetical interpretation the axiom set of…

We combine the concepts of modal logics and many-valued logics in a general and comprehensive way. Namely, given any finite linearly ordered set of truth values and any set of propositional connectives defined by truth tables, we define the…

In this paper a conditional logic is defined and studied. This conditional logic, DmBL, is constructed as a deterministic counterpart to the Bayesian conditional. The logic is unrestricted, so that any logical operations are allowed. A…

The provability logic of a theory $T$ captures the structural behavior of formalized provability in $T$ as provable in $T$ itself. Like provability, one can formalize the notion of relative interpretability giving rise to interpretability…
