    Get PDF
    We prove that the propositional logic of intuitionistic set theory IZF is intuitionistic propositional logic IPC. More generally, we show that IZF has the de Jongh property with respect to every intermediate logic that is complete with respect to a class of finite trees. The same results follow for CZF.Comment: 12 page

    Characteristic formulas over intermediate logics

    We expand the notion of characteristic formula to infinite finitely presentable subdirectly irreducible algebras. We prove that there is a continuum of varieties of Heyting algebras containing infinite finitely presentable subdirectly irreducible algebras. Moreover, we prove that there is a continuum of intermediate logics that can be axiomatized by characteristic formulas of infinite algebras while they are not axiomatizable by standard Jankov formulas. We give the examples of intermediate logics that are not axiomatizable by characteristic formulas of infinite algebras. Also, using the Goedel-McKinsey-Tarski translation we extend these results to the varieties of interior algebras and normal extensions of S

    Canonical formulas for k-potent commutative, integral, residuated lattices

    Full text link
    Canonical formulas are a powerful tool for studying intuitionistic and modal logics. Actually, they provide a uniform and semantic way to axiomatise all extensions of intuitionistic logic and all modal logics above K4. Although the method originally hinged on the relational semantics of those logics, recently it has been completely recast in algebraic terms. In this new perspective canonical formulas are built from a finite subdirectly irreducible algebra by describing completely the behaviour of some operations and only partially the behaviour of some others. In this paper we export the machinery of canonical formulas to substructural logics by introducing canonical formulas for kk-potent, commutative, integral, residuated lattices (kk-CIRL\mathsf{CIRL}). We show that any subvariety of kk-CIRL\mathsf{CIRL} is axiomatised by canonical formulas. The paper ends with some applications and examples.Comment: Some typo corrected and additional comments adde
