Modal languages for topology: Expressivity and definability
In this paper we study the expressive power and definability for (extended) modal languages interpreted on topological spaces. We provide topological analogues of the van Benthem characterization theorem and the Goldblatt-Thomason definability theorem in terms of the well established first-order topological language Lt.
متن کاملModal Definability in Enriched Languages
The paper deals with polymodal languages combined with standard semantics defined by means of some conditions on the frames. So a notion of "polymodal base" arises which provides various enrichments of the classical modal language. One of these enrichments, viz. the base £(R,-R), with modalities over a relation and over its complement, is the paper's main paradigm. The modal definability (in th...
متن کاملModal Sequents and Definability
We examine a certain modal consequence relation, and define the notion of validity of a modal sequent on a frame. We demonstrate that it is possible to define classes of frames. not definable by modal formulas, by modal sequents. Through the use of modal algebras and general frames, we obtain a characterization of modal sequent-definable classes of frames which are also first-order definable, a...
متن کاملExemplaric Expressivity of Modal Logics
This paper investigates expressivity of modal logics for transition systems, multitransition systems, Markov chains, and Markov processes, as coalgebras of the powerset, finitely supported multiset, finitely supported distribution, and measure functor, respectively. Expressivity means that logically indistinguishable states, satisfying the same formulas, are behaviourally indistinguishable. The...
متن کاملA generalization of modal definability
Known results on global definability in basic modal logic are generalized in the following sense. A class of Kripke models is usually called modally definable if there is a set of modal formulas such that a class consists exactly of models on which every formula of that set is globally true, i. e. universally quantified standard translations of these formulas to the corresponding first order la...
