Tense logic based on finite orthomodular posets

It is widely accepted that the logic of quantum mechanics is based on orthomodular posets. However, such a logic is not dynamic in the sense that it does not incorporate time dimension. To fill this gap, we introduce certain tense operators on such a logic in an inexact way, but still satisfying requirements asked on tense operators in the classical logic based on Boolean algebras or in various non-classical logics. Our construction of tense operators works perfectly when the orthomodular poset in question is finite. We investigate the behaviour of these tense operators, e.g. we show that some of them form a dynamic pair. Moreover, we prove that if the tense operators preserve one of the inexact connectives conjunction or implication as defined by the authors recently in another paper, then they also preserve the other one. Finally, we show how to construct the binary relation of time preference on a given time set provided the tense operators are given, up to equivalence induced by natural quasiorders

Tense distributive lattices: algebra, logic and topology

Tense logic was introduced by Arthur Prior in the late 1950s as a result of his interest in the relationship between tense and modality. Prior's idea was to add four primitive modal-like unary connectives to the base language today widely known as Prior's tense operators. Since then, Prior's operators have been considered in many contexts by different authors, in particular, in the context of algebraic logic. Here, we consider the category tdlat of bounded distributive lattices equipped with Prior's tense operators. We establish categorical dualities for tdlat in terms of certain categories of Kripke frames and Priestley spaces, respectively. As an application, we characterize the congruence lattice of any tense distributive lattice as well as the subdirectly irreducible members of this category. Finally, we define the logic that preserves degrees of truth with respect to tdlat-algebras and precise the relation between particular sub-classes of tdlat and know tense logics found in the literature

A Topological Approach to Tense LMn×m-Algebras

In 2015, tense n × m-valued Lukasiewicz–Moisil algebras (or tense LMn×m-algebras) were introduced by A. V. Figallo and G. Pelaitay as an generalization of tense n-valued Łukasiewicz–Moisil algebras. In this paper we continue the study of tense LMn×m-algebras. More precisely, we determine a Priestley-style duality for these algebras. This duality enables us not only to describe the tense LMn×m-congruences on a tense LMn×m-algebra, but also to characterize the simple and subdirectly irreducible tense LMn×m-algebras

Tense operators on De Morgan algebras

The purpose of this article is to investigate the variety of algebras, which we call tense De Morgan algebras, as a natural generalization of tense algebras developed in Burges (1984, Handbook of Philosophical Logic, vol. II, pp. 89–139) (see also, Kowalski (1998, Rep. Math. Logic, 32, 53–95)). It is worth mentioning that the latter is a proper subvariety of the first one, as it is shown in a simple example. Our main interest is the representation theory for these classes of algebras.Fil: Figallo, Aldo Victorio. Universidad Nacional del Sur. Departamento de Matemática; Argentina.
