Topological Semantics and Bisimulations for Intuitionistic Modal Logics and Their Classical Companion Logics

چکیده
We take the well-known intuitionistic modal logic of Fischer Servi with semantics in bi-relational Kripke frames, and give the natural extension to topological Kripke frames. Fischer Servi’s two interaction conditions relating the intuitionistic pre-order (or partial-order) with the modal accessibility relation generalise to the requirement that the relation and its inverse be lower semi-continuous with respect to the topology. We then investigate the notion of topological bisimulation relations between topological Kripke frames, as introduced by Aiello and van Benthem, and show that their topology-preserving conditions are equivalent to the properties that the inverse-relation and the relation are lower semicontinuous with respect to the topologies on the two models. Our first main result is that this notion of topological bisimulation yields semantic preservation w.r.t. topological Kripke models for both intuitionistic tense logics, and for their classical companion multi-modal logics in the setting of the Gödel translation. After giving canonical topological Kripke models for the Hilbert-style axiomatizations of the Fischer Servi logic and its classical multi-modal companion logic, we show that the syntactic Gödel translation induces a natural semantic map from the intuitionistic canonical model into the canonical model of the classical companion logic, and this map is itself a topological bisimulation.

متن کاملTruth Values and Connectives in Some Non-Classical Logics
The question as to whether the propositional logic of Heyting, which was a formalization of Brouwer's intuitionistic logic, is finitely many valued or not, was open for a while (the question was asked by Hahn). Kurt Gödel (1932) introduced an infinite decreasing chain of intermediate logics, which are known nowadays as Gödel logics, for showing that the intuitionistic logic is not finitely (man...
متن کاملOn the relation between intuitionistic and classical modal logics
Intuitionistic propositional logic Int and its extensions, known as intermediate or superintuitionistic logics, in many respects can be regarded just as fragments of classical modal logics containing S4. At the syntactical level, the Godel translation t embeds every intermediate logic L = Int+ into modal logics in the interval L = [ L = S4 t( ); L = Grz t( )]. Semantically this is re ected by ...
متن کاملIntuitionistic Modal Logics as Fragments of Classical Bimodal Logics
Godel's translation of intuitionistic formulas into modal ones provides the well-known embedding of intermediate logics into extensions of Lewis' system S4, which re ects and sometimes preserves such properties as decidability, Kripke completeness, the nite model property. In this paper we establish a similar relationship between intuitionistic modal logics and classical bimodal logics. We als...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Model Checking for Intuitionistic Logics and Their Modal Companions
We study the model checking problem for logics whose semantics are defined using transitive Kripke models. We show that the model checking problem is P-complete for the intuitionistic logic KC. Interestingly, for its modal companion S4.2 we also obtain P-completeness even if we consider formulas with one variable only. This result is optimal since model checking for S4 without variables is NC-c...
