Jankov-style Formulas and Refutation Systems

The paper studies the logics which algebraic semantics comprises of the Hilbert algebras endowed with additional operations - the regular algebras. With any finite subdirectly irreducible regular algebra one can associate a Jankov formula. In its turn, the Jankov formulas can be used as anti-axioms for a refutation system. It is proven that a logic has a complete refutation system based on Jankov formulas if and only if this logic enjoys finite model property. Also, such a refutation system is finite, that is, it contains a finite number of axioms and anti-axioms, if and and only if the logic is tabular

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

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 $k$-potent, commutative, integral, residuated lattices ($k$-$\mathsf{CIRL}$). We show that any subvariety of $k$-$\mathsf{CIRL}$ is axiomatised by canonical formulas. The paper ends with some applications and examples.Comment: Some typo corrected and additional comments adde
