Probability logic has contributed to significant developments in belief types for game-theoretical economics. We present a new probability logic for Harsanyi Type spaces, show its completeness, and prove both a de-nesting property and a unique extension theorem. We then prove that multi-agent interactive epistemology has greater complexity than its single-agent counterpart by showing that if the probability indices of the belief language are restricted to a finite set of rationals and there are finitely many propositional letters, then the canonical space for probabilistic beliefs with one agent is finite while the canonical one with at least two agents has the cardinality of the continuum. Finally, we generalize the three notions of definability in multimodal logics to logics of probabilistic belief and knowledge, namely implicit definability, reducibility, and explicit definability. We find that S5-knowledge can be implicitly defined by probabilistic belief but not reduced to it and hence is not explicitly definable by probabilistic belief.
We prove that $IHS_A$, the theory of infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces equipped with a generic automorphism, is $aleph_0$-stable up to perturbation of the automorphism, and admits prime models up to perturbation over any set. Similarly, $APr_A$, the theory of atomless probability algebras equipped with a generic automorphism is $aleph_0$-stable up to perturbation. However, not allowing perturbation it is not even superstable.
We show that numerous distinctive concepts of constructive mathematics arise automatically from an antithesis translation of affine logic into intuitionistic logic via a Chu/Dialectica construction. This includes apartness relations, complemented subsets, anti-subgroups and anti-ideals, strict and non-strict order pairs, cut-valued metrics, and apartness spaces. We also explain the constructive bifurcation of some classical concepts using the choice between multiplicative and additive affine connectives. Affine logic and the antithesis construction thus systematically constructivize classical definitions, handling the resulting bookkeeping automatically.
We introduce a class of neighbourhood frames for graded modal logic embedding Kripke frames into neighbourhood frames. This class of neighbourhood frames is shown to be first-order definable but not modally definable. We also obtain a new definition of graded bisimulation with respect to Kripke frames by modifying the definition of monotonic bisimulation.
We describe an infinitary logic for metric structures which is analogous to $L_{omega_1, omega}$. We show that this logic is capable of expressing several concepts from analysis that cannot be expressed in finitary continuous logic. Using topological methods, we prove an omitting types theorem for countable fragments of our infinitary logic. We use omitting types to prove a two-cardinal theorem, which yields a strengthening of a result of Ben Yaacov and Iovino concerning separable quotients of Banach spaces.
As defined by Dunn, Moss, and Wang, an universal test set in an ortholattice $L$ is a subset $T$ such that each term takes value $1$, only, if it does so under all substitutions from $T$. Generalizing their result for ortholattices of subspaces of finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, we show that no infinite modular ortholattice of finite dimension admits a finite universal test set. On the other hand, answering a question of the same authors, we provide a countable universal test set for the ortholattice of projections of any type II$_1$ von Neumann algebra factor as well as for von Neumanns algebraic construction of a continuous geometry. These universal test sets consist of elements having rational normalized dimension with denominator a power of $2$.
