Interpretability Logic

AbstractWe investigate the modal logic of interpretability over Peano arithmetic. Our main result is a compactness theorem that extends the arithmetical completeness theorem for the interpretability logic ILMω. This extension concerns recursively enumerable sets of formulas of interpretability logic (rather than single formulas). As corollaries we obtain a uniform arithmetical completeness theorem for the interpretability logic ILM and a partial answer to a question of Orey from 1961. After some simplifications, we also obtain Shavrukov's embedding theorem for Magari algebras (a.k.a. diagonalizable algebras).

Interpretability Logic

Abstract The finite model property is a key step in proving decidability of modal logics. By adapting the filtration method to the generalized Veltman semantics for interpretability logics, we have been able to prove the finite model property of interpretability logic ILM0 w.r.t. generalized Veltman models. We use the same technique to prove the finite model property of interpretability logic ILW* w.r.t. generalized Veltman models. The missing link needed to prove the decidability of ILM0 was completeness w.r.t. generalized Veltman models, which we obtain in this article. Thus, we prove the decidability of ILM0, which was an open problem. Using the same technique, we prove that ILW* is also decidable.
