This paper presents a weak Kleene approach to conditionals that preserves some salient formal features of conditionals, particularly their interdefinability with Boolean logical connectives. I argue that such an approach fares better than other proposed weak logics of conditionals in this regard. In particular, it fares better than the logics proposed by Cooper, Cantwell, Farrell, De Finetti, Égré, Rossi, and Sprenger.

Here we work in an arbitrary o-minimal expansion of a divisible ordered abelian group. We say that a definable ring is definably semiprime if squares of nontrivial two-sided ideals definable in the expansion are nontrivial. We prove a definable version of Wedderburn–Artin theorem and give a characterization of definably semiprime rings.

The purpose of this paper is to generalize Kripke semantics for propositional modal logic by geometrizing it, that is, by considering the space underlying the collection of all possible worlds as an important semantic feature in its own right, so as to take the idea of accessibility seriously. The resulting new modal semantics is worked out in a setting coming from Riemannian geometry, where Kripke semantics is shown to correspond to a particular case, namely, the discrete one. Several correspondence results, established between variants of well-known modal systems and corresponding geometric properties, illustrate the import of this new framework.

Kyle Gannon, Jinhe Ye
Motivated by the theory of domination for types, we introduce a notion of domination for Keisler measures called extension domination. We argue that this variant of domination behaves similarly to its typesetting counterpart. We prove that extension domination extends domination for types and that it forms a preorder on the space of global Keisler measures. We then explore some basic properties related to this notion (e.g., approximations by formulas, closure under localizations, convex combinations). We also prove a few preservation theorems and provide some explicit examples.

This paper begins with a discussion of C. I. Lewis’s theory of meaning in his book, An Analysis of Knowledge and Valuation (1946) and his pragmatic theory of analyticity and necessity. I bring this theories together with some remarks that he makes in an appendix to the second edition of Symbolic Logic to construct an algebraic semantics for his logics S2 and S3. These logics and their semantics are compared and evaluated with regard to how well they implement Lewis’s theories of meaning and analyticity.

In the substitutional framework, validity is truth under all substitutions of the nonlogical vocabulary. I develop a theory where □ is interpreted as substitutional validity. I show how to prove soundness and completeness for common modal calculi using this definition.

A set F of Boolean functions is said to be functionally complete if every Boolean function is definable by combining functions in F. Post clarified when a set of Boolean functions is functionally complete (with respect to classical semantics). In this paper, by extending Post’s theorem, we clarify when a set of Boolean functions is functionally complete with respect to Kripke semantics.

We show that $mathrm{MA}_{kappa}$ implies that each collection of ${P}_{mathfrak c}$-points of size at most $kappa$ which has a $P_{mathfrak c}$-point as an $RK$ upper bound also has a ${P}_{mathfrak c}$-point as an $RK$ lower bound.
