It is well-known that intuitionistic logics can be formalized by means of Brouwerian semilattices, i.e. relatively pseudocomplemented semilattices. Then the logical connective implication is considered to be the relative pseudocomplement…
In their seminal paper Birkhoff and von Neumann revealed the following dilemma: "... whereas for logicians the orthocomplementation properties of negation were the ones least able to withstand a critical analysis, the study of mechanics…
Constructive dualities have been recently proposed for some lattice based algebras and a related project has been outlined by Holliday and Bezhanishvili, aiming at obtaining "choice-free spatial dualities for other classes of algebras…
Quasi-set theory was proposed as a mathematical context to investigate collections of indistinguishable objects. After presenting an outline of this theory, we define an algebra that has most of the standard properties of an orthocomplete…
We prove that the Weihrauch lattice can be transformed into a Brouwer algebra by the consecutive application of two closure operators in the appropriate order: first completion and then parallelization. The closure operator of completion is…
In the context of noncommutative geometry, we consider quiver representations -- not on vector spaces, as traditional, but on finite-dimensional prespectral triples (`discrete topological noncommutative spaces'). A similar idea appeared in…
The article is a study of two algebraic structures, the `contrapositionally complemented pseudo-Boolean algebra' (ccpBa) and `contrapositionally $\vee$ complemented pseudo-Boolean algebra' (c$\vee$cpBa). The algebras have recently been…
Following Birkhoff and von Neumann, quantum logic has traditionally been based on the lattice of closed linear subspaces of some Hilbert space, or, more generally, on the lattice of projections in a von Neumann algebra A. Unfortunately, the…
We consider a proper propositional quantum logic and show that it has multiple disjoint lattice models, only one of which is an orthomodular lattice (algebra) underlying Hilbert (quantum) space. We give an equivalent proof for the classical…
The existing topological representation of an orthocomplemented lattice via the clopen orthoregular subsets of a Stone space depends upon Alexander's Subbase Theorem, which asserts that a topological space $X$ is compact if every subbasic…
Cumulative logics are studied in an abstract setting, i.e., without connectives, very much in the spirit of Makinson's early work. A powerful representation theorem characterizes those logics by choice functions that satisfy a weakening of…
Perfect paradefinite algebras are De Morgan algebras expanded with an operation that allows for the full behavior of classical negation to be restored. They form a variety that is term-equivalent to the variety of involutive Stone algebras.…
A decade ago, Isham and Butterfield proposed a topos-theoretic approach to quantum mechanics, which meanwhile has been extended by Doering and Isham so as to provide a new mathematical foundation for all of physics. Last year, three of the…
We give a proof-theoretic as well as a semantic characterization of a logic in the signature with conjunction, disjunction, negation, and the universal and existential quantifiers that we suggest has a certain fundamental status. We present…
This paper develops a proof-theoretic framework for abstract interpretation by systematically associating logical systems with finite abstractions. Building on earlier work on the internal logics of abstractions, we propose a general…
In this paper, a short survey about the concepts underlying general logics is given. In particular, a novel rigorous definition of a fuzzy negation as an operation acting on a lattice to render it into a fuzzy logic is presented. According…
A bi-Heyting algebra validates the G\"odel-Dummett axiom $(p\to q)\vee (q\to p)$ iff the poset of its prime filters is a disjoint union of co-trees (i.e., order duals of trees). Bi-Heyting algebras of this kind are called bi-G\"odel…
The objects under inspection, on a given probability space, are noise(-type) Boolean algebras -- distributive non-empty sublattices of the lattice of all complete sub-$\sigma$-fields, whose every element admits an independent complement.…
The notions of a {\em 2-precontact space}\/ and a {\em 2-contact space}\/ are introduced. Using them, new representation theorems for precontact and contact algebras are proved. It is shown that there are bijective correspondences between…
The failure of distributivity in quantum logic is motivated by the principle of quantum superposition. However, this principle can be encoded differently, i.e., in different logico-algebraic objects. As a result, the logic of experimental…
