A classic result in modal logic, known as the Blok Dichotomy Theorem, states that the degree of incompleteness of a normal extension of the basic modal logic $\sf K$ is $1$ or $2^{\aleph_0}$. It is a long-standing open problem whether Blok…
In this paper we present a proof of Hartogs' extension theorem, following T. Sobieszek's paper from 2003. Hartogs' theorem provides a large class of domains where holomorphic functions have analytic continuation to larger domains, and is "a…
I explore the relationships between Prawitz's approach to non-monotonic proof-theoretic validity, which I call reducibility semantics, and some later proof-theoretic approaches, which I call standard base semantics and Sandqvist's base…
Weighted monadic second-order logic is a weighted extension of monadic second-order logic that captures exactly the behaviour of weighted automata. Its semantics is parameterized with respect to a semiring on which the values that weighted…
We present a sequent calculus for the Grzegorczyk modal logic Grz allowing cyclic and other non-well-founded proofs and obtain the cut-elimination theorem for it by constructing a continuous cut-elimination mapping acting on these proofs.…
The proof theory and semantics of intuitionistic modal logics have been studied by Simpson in terms of Prawitz-style labelled natural deduction systems and Kripke models. An alternative to model-theoretic semantics is provided by…
In the style of Lindstr\"om's theorem for classical first-order logic, this article characterizes propositional bi-intuitionistic logic as the maximal (with respect to expressive power) abstract logic satisfying a certain form of…
Building on a recent construction of G. Plebanek and the third named author, it is shown that a complemented subspace of a Banach lattice need not be linearly isomorphic to a Banach lattice. This solves a long-standing open question in…
The paper proves PSPACE-hardness of variable-free fragments of all logics between K and wGrz.
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…
In this paper, we introduce a foundation for computable model theory of rational Pavelka logic (an extension of {\L}ukasiewicz logic) and continuous logic, and prove effective versions of some theorems in model theory. We show how to reduce…
Lindstr\"om theorem obviously fails as a characterization of $\mathcal{L}_{\omega \omega}^{-} $, first-order logic without identity. In this note we provide a fix: we show that $\mathcal{L}_{\omega \omega}^{-} $ is \emph{maximal} among…
In this paper we investigate the links between instantiated argumentation systems and the axioms for non-monotonic reasoning described in [9] with the aim of characterising the nature of argument based reasoning. In doing so, we consider…
We extend the work of Bousfield and Kan on monadic resolutions of spaces to $\infty$-topoi, with applications to genuine $G$-equivariant spaces ($G$ a finite group) and motivic spaces over a perfect field. In particular, we give a proof of…
The G\"odel translation provides an embedding of the intuitionistic logic $\mathsf{IPC}$ into the modal logic $\mathsf{Grz}$, which then embeds into the modal logic $\mathsf{GL}$ via the splitting translation. Combined with Solovay's…
Generalizing standard monadic second-order logic for Kripke models, we introduce monadic second-order logic interpreted over coalgebras for an arbitrary set functor. We then consider invariance under behavioral equivalence of MSO-formulas.…
Lambeks Syntactic Calculus, commonly referred to as the Lambek calculus, was innovative in many ways, notably as a precursor of linear logic. But it also showed that we could treat our grammatical framework as a logic (as opposed to a…
We prove a Simons-type holonomy theorem for totally skew 1-forms with values in a Lie algebra of linear isometries. The only transitive case, for this theorem, is the full orthogonal group. We only use geometric methods and we do not use…
By adapting arguments of Annala-Hoyois-Iwasa in the log setting, we prove Poincar\'e duality for smooth projective morphisms in logarithmic motivic homotopy theory. As an application, we show that the crystalline cohomology of a log…
Building on the correspondence between finitely axiomatised theories in {\L}ukasieiwcz logic and rational polyhedra, we prove that the unification type of the fragment of {\L}ukasiewicz logic with $n\geq 2$ variables is nullary. This solves…
