29Quantified intuitionistic logic over metrizable spacesReview of Symbolic Logic 12 (3): 405-425. 2019.In the topological semantics, quantified intuitionistic logic, QH, is known to be strongly complete not only for the class of all topological spaces but also for some particular topological spaces — for example, for the irrational line, ${\Bbb P}$, and for the rational line, ${\Bbb Q}$, in each case with a constant countable domain for the quantifiers. Each of ${\Bbb P}$ and ${\Bbb Q}$ is a separable zero-dimensional dense-in-itself metrizable space. The main result of the current article genera…Read more

22The Incompleteness of S4 {bigoplus} S4 for the Product SpaceStudia Logica 103 (1): 219-226. 2015.Shehtman introduced bimodal logics of the products of Kripke frames, thereby introducing frame products of unimodal logics. Van Benthem, Bezhanishvili, ten Cate and Sarenac generalize this idea to the bimodal logics of the products of topological spaces, thereby introducing topological products of unimodal logics. In particular, they show that the topological product of S4 and S4 is S4 \ S4, i.e., the fusion of S4 and S4: this logic is strictly weaker than the frame product S4 × S4. Indeed, van …Read more

16Dynamic topological logicAnnals of Pure and Applied Logic 131 (1-3): 133-158. 2005.Dynamic topological logic provides a context for studying the confluence of the topological semantics for S4, topological dynamics, and temporal logic. The topological semantics for S4 is based on topological spaces rather than Kripke frames. In this semantics, □ is interpreted as topological interior. Thus S4 can be understood as the logic of topological spaces, and □ can be understood as a topological modality. Topological dynamics studies the asymptotic properties of continuous maps on topolo…Read more

13On the Complexity of Propositional Quantification in Intuitionistic LogicJournal of Symbolic Logic 62 (2): 529-544. 1997.We define a propositionally quantified intuitionistic logic $\mathbf{H}\pi +$ by a natural extension of Kripke's semantics for propositional intutionistic logic. We then show that $\mathbf{H}\pi+$ is recursively isomorphic to full second order classical logic. $\mathbf{H}\pi+$ is the intuitionistic analogue of the modal systems $\mathbf{S}5\pi +, \mathbf{S}4\pi +, \mathbf{S}4.2\pi +, \mathbf{K}4\pi +, \mathbf{T}\pi +, \mathbf{K}\pi +$ and $\mathbf{B}\pi +$, studied by Fine.

11Strong Completeness of S4 for the Real LineIn Ivo Düntsch & Edwin Mares (eds.), Alasdair Urquhart on Nonclassical and Algebraic Logic and Complexity of Proofs, Springer Verlag. pp. 291-302. 2021.In the topological semantics for modal logic, S4 is well known to be complete for the rational line and for the real line: these are special cases of S4’s completeness for any dense-in-itself metric space. The construction used to prove completeness can be slightly amended to show that S4 is not only complete but strongly complete, for the rational line. But no similarly easy amendment is available for the real line. In an earlier paper, we proved a general theorem: S4 is strongly complete for a…Read more

7Defining Relevant Implication in a Propositionally Quantified S4Journal of Symbolic Logic 62 (4): 1057-1069. 1997.R. K. Meyer once gave precise form to the question of whether relevant implication can be defined in any modal system, and his answer was `no'. In the present paper, we extend $\mathbf{S4}$, first with propositional quantifiers, to the system $\mathbf{S4\pi}+$; and then with definite propositional descriptions, to the system $\mathbf{S4\pi}+^{lp}$. We show that relevant implication can in some sense be defined in the modal system $\mathbf{S4\pi}+^{lp}$, although it cannot be defined in $\mathbf{…Read more

Real Properties, Relevance Logic, and IdentityDissertation, University of Pittsburgh. 1994.There is an intuition, notoriously difficult to formalise, that only some predicates express real properties. J. M. Dunn formalises this intuition with relevance logic, proposing a notion of relevant predication. For each first order formula Ax, Dunn specifies another formula that is intuitively interpreted as "Ax expresses a real property". Chapter I calls such an approach an object language approach, since the claim that Ax expresses a real property is rendered as a formula in the object langu…Read more
