    Completeness and interpolation for intuitionistic infinitary predicate logic, in connection to finitizing the class of representable Heyting polyadic algebras

    Full text link
    We study different representation theorems for various reducts of Heyting polyadic algebras. Superamalgamation is proved for several (natural reducts) and our results are compared to the finitizability problem in classical algebraic logic dealing with cylindric and polyadic (Boolean algebras). We also prove several new neat embedding theorems, and obtain that the class of representable algebras based on (a generalized) Kripke semantics coincide with the class of algebras having the neat embedding property, that is those algebras that are subneat reducts of algebras having ω\omega extra dimensions.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1304.0707, arXiv:1304.114

    Free algebras, amalgamation, and a theorem of Vaught for many valued logics

    Full text link
    We investigate atomicity of free algebras and various forms of amalgamation for BL and MV algebras, and also Heyting algebras, though the latter algebras may not be linearly ordered, so strictly speaking their corresponding intuitionistic logic does not belong to many valued logic. Generalizing results of Comer proved in the classical first order case; working out a sheaf duality on the Zarski topology defined on the prime spectrum of such algebras, we infer several definability theorems, and obtain a representation theorem for theories as continuous sections of Sheaves. We also prove an omitting types theorem for fuzzy logic, and formulate and prove several of its consequences (in classical model theory) adapted to our case; that has to do with existence and uniqueness of prime and atomic models.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1304.0707, arXiv:1304.0612, arXiv:1304.0760, arXiv:1302.304

    Finite relation algebras and omitting types in modal fragments of first order logic

    Full text link
    Let 2<n\leq l<m< \omega. Let L_n denote first order logic restricted to the first n variables. We show that the omitting types theorem fails dramatically for the n--variable fragments of first order logic with respect to clique guarded semantics, and for its packed n--variable fragments. Both are modal fragments of L_n. As a sample, we show that if there exists a finite relation algebra with a so--called strong l--blur, and no m--dimensional relational basis, then there exists a countable, atomic and complete L_n theory T and type \Gamma, such that \Gamma is realizable in every so--called m--square model of T, but any witness isolating \Gamma cannot use less than ll variables. An mm--square model M of T gives a form of clique guarded semantics, where the parameter m, measures how locally well behaved M is. Every ordinary model is k--square for any n<k<\omega, but the converse is not true. Any model M is \omega--square, and the two notions are equivalent if M is countable. Such relation algebras are shown to exist for certain values of l and m like for n\leq l<\omega and m=\omega, and for l=n and m\geq n+3. The case l=n and m=\omega gives that the omitting types theorem fails for L_n with respect to (usual) Tarskian semantics: There is an atomic countable L_n theory T for which the single non--principal type consisting of co--atoms cannot be omitted in any model M of T. For n<\omega, positive results on omitting types are obained for L_n by imposing extra conditions on the theories and/or the types omitted. Positive and negative results on omitting types are obtained for infinitary variants and extensions of L_{\omega, \omega}.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1408.3282, arXiv:1502.0770

    Amalgmation in Boolean algebras with operators

    Full text link
    We study various forms of amalgamation for Boolean algebras with operations. We will also have the occasion to weaken the Boolean structure dealing with MV and BL algebras with operators.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1302.3043, arXiv:1303.7386, arXiv:1304.0612, arXiv:1304.114

    Cylindric polyadic algebras have the superamalgamation

    Full text link
    We show that cylindric polyadic algebras introduced by Ferenczi has the superamalgmation property. We give two proofs. One is a Henkin construction, and the other is inspired by duality theory in modal logic between finite zig zag products of Kripke frames and their complex algebras.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1303.738

    On completions of algebras in SNr_nCA_{n+k}, n\geq 3, k\geq 1

    Full text link
    We give a sufficient condition that implies that SNr_nCA_{n+k}, n\geq 3, k\geq 3 (both finite)is not closed under completions. We compare this condition to existing results in literature
