3 April 2014, Algebra|Coalgebra Seminar, Fatemeh Seifan
Abstract
In this talk we will use the connection between automata and logic to prove that a wide class of coalgebraic fixpoint logics enjoy the uniform interpolation. To this aim, first we generalize one of the central results in coalgebraic automata theory, namely closure under projection, which is known to hold for weak-pullback preserving functors, to a more general class of functors, i.e.; functors with quasi-functorial lax extensions. Then we will show thatclosure under projection implies definability of the bisimulation quantifier in the language of coalgebraic fixpoint logic, and finally we prove the uniform interpolation theorem.

16 April 2014, Algebra|Coalgebra Seminar, Sam van Gool
Abstract
We give a construction of finitely generated free algebras
for Gödel-Löb provability logic, GL. On the semantic side,
this construction yields a notion of canonical graded model
for GL and a syntactic definition of those normal forms which
are consistent with GL. Our two main techniques are
incremental constructions of free algebras and finite duality
for partial modal algebras. In order to apply these techniques
to GL, we use a rule-based formulation of the logic GL by
Avron (which we simplify slightly), and the corresponding
semantic characterization that was recently obtained by
Bezhanishvili and Ghilardi.
