Sequent Calculus in the Topos of Trees
Nakano's "later" modality, inspired by G\"{o}del-L\"{o}b provability logic,
has been applied in type systems and program logics to capture guarded
recursion. Birkedal et al modelled this modality via the internal logic of the
topos of trees. We show that the semantics of the propositional fragment of
this logic can be given by linear converse-well-founded intuitionistic Kripke
frames, so this logic is a marriage of the intuitionistic modal logic KM and
the intermediate logic LC. We therefore call this logic
. We give a sound and cut-free complete sequent
calculus for via a strategy that decomposes
implication into its static and irreflexive components. Our calculus provides
deterministic and terminating backward proof-search, yields decidability of the
logic and the coNP-completeness of its validity problem. Our calculus and
decision procedure can be restricted to drop linearity and hence capture KM.Comment: Extended version, with full proof details, of a paper accepted to

Multiple Conclusion Rules in Logics with the Disjunction Property
We prove that for the intermediate logics with the disjunction property any
basis of admissible rules can be reduced to a basis of admissible m-rules
(multiple-conclusion rules), and every basis of admissible m-rules can be
reduced to a basis of admissible rules. These results can be generalized to a
broad class of logics including positive logic and its extensions, Johansson
logic, normal extensions of S4, n-transitive logics and intuitionistic modal
logics

On the Blok-Esakia Theorem
Abstract We discuss the celebrated Blok-Esakia theorem on the isomorphism between the lattices of extensions of intuitionistic propositional logic and the Grzegorczyk modal system. In particular, we present the original algebraic proof of this theorem found by Blok, and give a brief survey of generalisations of the Blok-Esakia theorem to extensions of intuitionistic logic with modal operators and coimplication.
