Topological Semantics and Decidability
It is well-known that the basic modal logic of all topological spaces is
. However, the structure of basic modal and hybrid logics of classes of
spaces satisfying various separation axioms was until present unclear. We prove
that modal logics of , and topological spaces coincide and are
S4T_1 spaces coincide.Comment: presentation changes, results about concrete structure adde
Classical Mathematics for a Constructive World
Interactive theorem provers based on dependent type theory have the
flexibility to support both constructive and classical reasoning. Constructive
reasoning is supported natively by dependent type theory and classical
reasoning is typically supported by adding additional non-constructive axioms.
However, there is another perspective that views constructive logic as an
extension of classical logic. This paper will illustrate how classical
reasoning can be supported in a practical manner inside dependent type theory
without additional axioms. We will see several examples of how classical
results can be applied to constructive mathematics. Finally, we will see how to
extend this perspective from logic to mathematics by representing classical
function spaces using a weak value monad.Comment: v2: Final copy for publicatio
Named Models in Coalgebraic Hybrid Logic
Hybrid logic extends modal logic with support for reasoning about individual
states, designated by so-called nominals. We study hybrid logic in the broad
context of coalgebraic semantics, where Kripke frames are replaced with
coalgebras for a given functor, thus covering a wide range of reasoning
principles including, e.g., probabilistic, graded, default, or coalitional
operators. Specifically, we establish generic criteria for a given coalgebraic
hybrid logic to admit named canonical models, with ensuing completeness proofs
for pure extensions on the one hand, and for an extended hybrid language with
local binding on the other. We instantiate our framework with a number of
examples. Notably, we prove completeness of graded hybrid logic with local
binding
Stone-Type Dualities for Separation Logics
Stone-type duality theorems, which relate algebraic and
relational/topological models, are important tools in logic because -- in
addition to elegant abstraction -- they strengthen soundness and completeness
to a categorical equivalence, yielding a framework through which both algebraic
and topological methods can be brought to bear on a logic. We give a systematic
treatment of Stone-type duality for the structures that interpret bunched
logics, starting with the weakest systems, recovering the familiar BI and
Boolean BI (BBI), and extending to both classical and intuitionistic Separation
Logic. We demonstrate the uniformity and modularity of this analysis by
additionally capturing the bunched logics obtained by extending BI and BBI with
modalities and multiplicative connectives corresponding to disjunction,
negation and falsum. This includes the logic of separating modalities (LSM), De
Morgan BI (DMBI), Classical BI (CBI), and the sub-classical family of logics
extending Bi-intuitionistic (B)BI (Bi(B)BI). We additionally obtain as
corollaries soundness and completeness theorems for the specific Kripke-style
models of these logics as presented in the literature: for DMBI, the
sub-classical logics extending BiBI and a new bunched logic, Concurrent Kleene
BI (connecting our work to Concurrent Separation Logic), this is the first time
soundness and completeness theorems have been proved. We thus obtain a
comprehensive semantic account of the multiplicative variants of all standard
propositional connectives in the bunched logic setting. This approach
synthesises a variety of techniques from modal, substructural and categorical
logic and contextualizes the "resource semantics" interpretation underpinning
Separation Logic amongst them
