We provide a rough sets semantics for the three-valued extension of first-order Priest's da Costa logic, which we studied in [Castiglioni, J.L. and Ertola-Biraben, R.C. Modalities combining two negations. {\em Journal of Logic and Computation} 11:341--356, 2024]. This semantics follows the usual pattern of the semantics for first-order classical logic.
A hemiimplicative semilattice is a bounded semilattice $(A, \wedge, 1)$ endowed with a binary operation $\to$, satisfying that for every $a, b, c \in A$, $a \leq b \to c$ implies $a \wedge b \leq c$ (that is to say, one of the conditionals satisfied by the residuum of the infimum) and the equation $a \to a = 1$. The class of hemiimplicative semilattices form a variety. These structures provide a general framework for the study of different structures of interest in algebraic logic. In any hemiimplicative semilattice it is possible to define a derived operation by $a \sim b := (a \to b) \wedge (b \to a)$. Endowing $(A, \wedge, 1)$ with the binary operation $\sim$ results again a hemiimplicative semilattice, which also satisfies the identity $a \sim b = b \sim a$. We call the elements of the subvariety of hemiimplicative semilattices satisfying $a \to b = b \to a$, a symmetric hemiimplicative semilattice. In this article, we study the correspondence assigning the symmetric hemiimplicative semilattice $(A, \wedge, \sim , 1)$ to the hemiimplicative semilattice $(A, \wedge, \to, 1)$. In particular, we characterize the image of this correspondence. We also provide many new examples of hemiimplicative semilattice structures on any bounded semillatice (possibly with bottom). Finally, we characterize congruences on the clases of hemiimplicative semilattices introduced as examples and we describe the principal congruences of hemiimplicative semilattices.
We investigate some modal operators of necessity and possibility in the context of meet-complemented (not necessarily distributive) lattices. We proceed in stages. We compare our operators with others.
In this paper we study the universal central extension of a Lie--Rinehart algebra and we give a description of it. Then we study the lifting of automorphisms and derivations to central extensions. We also give a definition of a non-abelian tensor product in Lie--Rinehart algebras based on the construction of Ellis of non-abelian tensor product of Lie algebras. We relate this non-abelian tensor product to the universal central extension.
