The Monadic Grzegorczyk Logic

Logic 2025-12-25 v3

Abstract

We develop a semantic criterion for determining whether a given monadic modal logic axiomatizes the one-variable fragment of a predicate modal logic. We show that the criterion applies to the monadic Grzegorczyk logic MGrz\textbf{MGrz}, thus establishing that MGrz\textbf{MGrz} axiomatizes the one-variable fragment of the predicate Grzegorczyk logic QGrz\textbf{QGrz}. This we do by proving the finite model property of MGrz\textbf{MGrz}, which is achieved by strengthening the notion of a maximal point of a descriptive MGrz\textbf{MGrz}-frame and by refining the existing selective filtration methods.
