The Modal Logic of Forcing
نویسنده
چکیده
A set theoretical assertion ψ is forceable or possible, written ♦ψ, if ψ holds in some forcing extension, and necessary, written ψ, if ψ holds in all forcing extensions. In this forcing interpretation of modal logic, we establish that if ZFC is consistent, then the ZFC-provable principles of forcing are exactly those in the modal theory S4.2.

Suhrawardi's Modal Syllogisms
Suhrawardi’s logic of the Hikmat al-Ishraq is basically modal. So to understand his modal logic one first has to know the non-modal part upon which his modal logic is built. In my previous paper ‘Suhrawardi on Syllogisms’(3) I discussed the former in detail. The present paper is an exposition of his treatment of modal syllogisms. On the basis of some reasonable existential presuppositi...
متن کاملThe Modal Logic of Generic Multiverses
In this thesis, we investigate the modal logic of forcing and the modal logic of grounds of generic multiverses. Hamkins and Löwe showed that the ZFC-provable modal principles of forcing, as well as of grounds, are exactly the theorems of the modal logic S4.2 (see [16],[17]). We prove that the modal logic of forcing of any generic multiverse is also exactly S4.2 by showing that any model of ZFC...
متن کاملModal Logics and Multiverses
This paper is a survey on modal logic of multiverses. It summarizes known results by Hamkins, Inamdar, Leibman, and the second author about the modal logics of forcing, grounds, and inner models in a general abstract setting. Most results in this survey come from a series of papers co-authored by the second author [19, 20, 18, 24]. Exceptions are the discussion of spiked Boolean algebras and th...
متن کاملStructural Connections between a Forcing Class and Its Modal Logic
Every definable forcing class Γ gives rise to a corresponding forcing modality, for which Γ φ means that φ is true in all Γ extensions, and the valid principles of Γ forcing are the modal assertions that are valid for this forcing interpretation. For example, [9] shows that if ZFC is consistent, then the ZFC-provably valid principles of the class of all forcing are precisely the assertions of t...
متن کاملFatal Heyting Algebras and Forcing Persistent Sentences
Hamkins and Löwe proved that the modal logic of forcing is S4.2. In this paper, we consider its modal companion, the intermediate logic KC and relate it to the fatal Heyting algebra HZFC of forcing persistent sentences. This Heyting algebra is equationally generic for the class of fatal Heyting algebras. Motivated by these results, we further analyse the class of fatal Heyting algebras.
