Duality for Constructive Modal Logics: from Sahqlvist to Goldblatt-Thomason
For logicians and computer scientists, it extends classical modal logic results to constructive settings, providing foundational tools for reasoning about constructive modal logics.
This paper develops a categorical duality for constructive modal logic CK, linking algebraic and birelational semantics, and uses it to prove Sahlqvist-style correspondence and completeness results, as well as a Goldblatt-Thomason-style definability theorem.
We carry out a semantic study of the constructive modal logic CK. We provide a categorical duality linking the algebraic and birelational semantics of the logic. We then use this to prove Sahlqvist style correspondence and completeness results, as well as a Goldblatt-Thomason style theorem on definability of classes of frames.
