In several cases, axiomatizations of algebraic semantics for these logics have been obtained: most notably, for the modal counterparts S5 and MIPC of the one-variable fragments of first-order classical logic and intuitionistic logic, respectively. Outside the setting of first-order intermediate logics, however, a general approach is lacking. This paper provides the basis for such an approach in the setting of first-order lattice-valued logics, where formulas are interpreted in algebraic structures with a lattice reduct. In particular, axiomatizations are obtained for modal counterparts of one-variable fragments of a broad family of these logics by generalizing a functional representation theorem of Bezhanishvili and Harding for monadic Heyting algebras. An alternative proof-theoretic proof is also provided for one-variable fragments of first-order substructural logics that have a cut-free sequent calculus and admit a certain bounded interpolation property.","PeriodicalId":129696,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Modal Logic","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125096989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The logic $mathsf{iM}$ is a non-normal modal logic on an intuitionistic basis, and the property ULIP is a strengthening of interpolation in which the interpolant depends only on the premise or the conclusion of an implication, respecting the polarities of the propositional variables. Our method to prove ULIP yields explicit uniform interpolants and makes use of a terminating sequent calculus for $mathsf{iM}$ that we have developed for this purpose. As far as we know, the results that $mathsf{iM}$ has ULIP and a terminating sequent calculus are the first of their kind for an intuitionistic non-normal modal logic. However, rather than proving these particular results, our aim is to show the flexibility of the constructive proof-theoretic method that we use for proving ULIP. It has been developed over the last few years and has been applied to substructural, intermediate, classical (non-)normal modal and intuitionistic normal modal logics. In light of these results, intuitionistic non-normal modal logics seem a natural next class to try to apply the method to, and we take the first step in that direction in this paper.","PeriodicalId":129696,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Modal Logic","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121513315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Like other logics of dependence, the semantics of LFD uses teams: sets of permissible variable assignments. What sets LFD apart is its ability to express local dependence between variables and local dependence of statements on variables. Known features of LFD include decidability, explicit axiomatization, finite model property, and a bisimulation characterization. Others, including the complexity of satisfiability, remained open so far. More generally, what has been lacking is a good understanding of what makes the LFD approach to dependence computationally well-behaved, and how it relates to other decidable logics. In particular, how do allowing variable dependencies and guarding quantifiers compare as logical devices? We provide a new compositional translation from GF into LFD, and conversely, we translate LFD into GF in an `almost compositional' manner. Using these two translations, we transfer known results about GF to LFD in a uniform manner, yielding, e.g., tight complexity bounds for LFD satisfiability, as well as Craig interpolation. Conversely, e.g., the finite model property of LFD transfers to GF. Thus, local dependence and guarding turn out to be intricately entangled notions.","PeriodicalId":129696,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Modal Logic","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114786869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We expose this connection in the setting of inquisitive logic with tensor disjunction discussed by Ciardelli and Barbero (2019}, but from an epistemic perspective. More specifically, we translate the propositional formulae of inquisitive logic with tensor into modal formulae in a powerful epistemic language of\"knowing how\"following the proposal by Wang (2021). We give a complete axiomatization of the logic of our full language based on Fine's axiomatization of S5 modal logic with propositional quantifiers. Finally, we generalize the tensor operator with parameters $k$ and $n$, which intuitively captures the epistemic situation that one knows $n$ potential answers to $n$ questions and is sure $k$ answers of them must be correct. The original tensor disjunction is the special case when $k=1$ and $n=2$. We show that the generalized tensor operators do not increase the expressive power of our logic, the inquisitive logic, and propositional dependence logic, though most of these generalized tensors are not uniformly definable in these logics, except in our dynamic epistemic logic of knowing how.","PeriodicalId":129696,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Modal Logic","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122319106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
