An extension of J\'{o}nsson-Tarski representation and model existence in predicate non-normal modal logics

Abstract

In this paper, we give an extension of the J\'{o}nsson-Tarski representation theorem for both normal and non-normal modal algebras so that it preserves countably many infinitary meets and joins. To extend the J\'{o}nsson-Tarski representation to non-normal modal algebras we consider neighborhood frames, instead of Kripke frames, and to deal with infinite meets and joins, we make use of Q-filters, instead of prime filters. Then, we show that every predicate modal logic, whether it is normal or non-normal, has a model defined on a neighborhood frame with constant domains, and give completeness theorem for some predicate modal logics. We also show the same results for infinitary modal logics
