We introduce a proper display calculus for first-order logic, of which we prove soundness, completeness, conservativity, subformula property and cut elimination via a Belnap-style metatheorem. All inference rules are closed under uniform substitution and are without side conditions.
Let $alphageq 2$ be any ordinal. We consider the class $mathsf{Drs}_{alpha}$ of relativized diagonal free set algebras of dimension $alpha$. With same technique, we prove several important results concerning this class. Among these results, we prove that almost all free algebras of $mathsf{Drs}_{alpha}$ are atomless, and none of these free algebras contains zero-dimensional elements other than zero and top element. The class $mathsf{Drs}_{alpha}$ corresponds to first order logic, without equality symbol, with $alpha$-many variables and on relativized semantics. Hence, in this variation of first order logic, there is no finitely axiomatizable, complete and consistent theory.
In 1942 Haskell B.Curry presented what is now called Curry paradox which can be found in a logic independently of its stand on negation.In recent years there has been a revitalised interest in non-classical solutions to the semantic paradoxes. In this article the non-classical resolution of Currys Paradox and Shaw-Kwei paradox without rejection any contraction postulate is proposed.
Let 2<nleq l<m< omega. Let L_n denote first order logic restricted to the first n variables. We show that the omitting types theorem fails dramatically for the n--variable fragments of first order logic with respect to clique guarded semantics, and for its packed n--variable fragments. Both are modal fragments of L_n. As a sample, we show that if there exists a finite relation algebra with a so--called strong l--blur, and no m--dimensional relational basis, then there exists a countable, atomic and complete L_n theory T and type Gamma, such that Gamma is realizable in every so--called m--square model of T, but any witness isolating Gamma cannot use less than $l$ variables. An $m$--square model M of T gives a form of clique guarded semantics, where the parameter m, measures how locally well behaved M is. Every ordinary model is k--square for any n<k<omega, but the converse is not true. Any model M is omega--square, and the two notions are equivalent if M is countable. Such relation algebras are shown to exist for certain values of l and m like for nleq l<omega and m=omega, and for l=n and mgeq n+3. The case l=n and m=omega gives that the omitting types theorem fails for L_n with respect to (usual) Tarskian semantics: There is an atomic countable L_n theory T for which the single non--principal type consisting of co--atoms cannot be omitted in any model M of T. For n<omega, positive results on omitting types are obained for L_n by imposing extra conditions on the theories and/or the types omitted. Positive and negative results on omitting types are obtained for infinitary variants and extensions of L_{omega, omega}.
In this paper the 3-valued paraconsistent first-order logic QCiore is studied from the point of view of Model Theory. The semantics for QCiore is given by partial structures, which are first-order structures in which each n-ary predicate R is interpreted as a triple of paiwise disjoint sets of n-uples representing, respectively, the set of tuples which actually belong to R, the set of tuples which actually do not belong to R, and the set of tuples whose status is dubious or contradictory. Partial structures were proposed in 1986 by I. Mikenberg, N. da Costa and R. Chuaqui for the theory of quasi-truth (or pragmatic truth). In 2014, partial structures were studied by M. Coniglio and L. Silvestrini for a 3-valued paraconsistent first-order logic called LPT1, whose 3-valued propositional fragment is equivalent to da Costa-DOtavianos logic J3. This approach is adapted in this paper to QCiore, and some important results of classical Model Theory such as Robinsons joint consistency theorem, amalgamation and interpolation are obtained. Although we focus on QCiore, this framework can be adapted to other 3-valued first-order logics.
