Uniform interpolation and sequent calculi in modal logic

Abstract: A method is presented that connects the existence of uniform interpolants to the existence of certain sequent calculi. This method is applied to several modal logics and is shown to cover known results from the literature, such as the existence of uniform interpolants for the modal logic K. New is the result that KD has uniform interpolation. The results imply that for modal logics K4 and S4, which are known not to have uniform interpolation, certain sequent calculi cannot exist.

“…We do not know whether there are examples of interesting logics that have calculi that consist solely of focused rules. In the classical setting [17] we use a notion of focused 4 that extends the one in this paper and is such that all rules of G3p are focused. The same does not hold for G3ip, but in the next section we show that IPC has a calculus consisting of focused and nonfocused rules, for which there exists a sound interpolant assignment.…”

“…In [17], a method has been developed to prove uniform interpolation for any modal logic with a sequent calculus consisting of so-called focused and focused modal rules. This method provides a single framework via which to prove in a uniform way existing and new results on uniform interpolation, such as the result from [6] that K has uniform interpolation and the new result that KD has uniform interpolation.…”

“…
In [7] and [8], Iemhoff introduced a connection between the existence of a terminating sequent calculi of a certain kind and the uniform interpolation property of the super-intuitionistic logic that the calculus captures. In this paper, we will generalize this relationship to also cover the substructural setting on the one hand and a much more powerful class of rules on the other.

“…UIP for K, Grz, and KT were proved by Ghilardi [13] and Visser [33], Visser [33], and Bílková [2], respectively. See also [3,17]. However, it was proved by Ghilardi and Zawadowski [14] that the modal logic S4 does not enjoy UIP, and Bílková [2] also showed the same result for K4.So far, it has been studied separately that each logic has UIP and that logic has LIP.…”
