ABSTRACT Determinism is (roughly) the thesis that the past determines the future. But efforts to define it precisely have exposed deep methodological disagreements. Standard possible‐worlds formulations of determinism presuppose an “agreement” relation between worlds, but this relation can be understood in multiple ways, none of which is particularly ...

On the theories classified by an étendue
Abstract We give a model‐theoretic characterisation of the geometric theories classified by étendues—the ‘locally localic’ topoi. They are the theories where each model is determined, syntactically and semantically, by any witness of a fixed collection of formulae.

Right amenable left group sets and the Tarski-FØlner theorem [PDF]
We introduce right amenability, right FØlner nets, and right paradoxical decompositions for left homogeneous spaces and prove the Tarski-FØlner theorem for left homogeneous spaces with finite stabilisers.

Identifiability of points and rigidity of hypergraphs under algebraic constraints
Abstract The identifiability problem arises naturally in a number of contexts in mathematics and computer science. Specific instances include local or global rigidity of graphs and unique completability of partially‐filled tensors subject to rank conditions.

Iniciamos com o conceito de dedução, como conhecido no contexto da Matemática e das ciências exatas. Então, apresentamos algumas propostas de formalização da dedução em sistemas dedutivos, o que é bem conhecido nos tratados de lógica universal ou lógica

Fuzzy Results for Finitely Supported Structures
We present a survey of some results published recently by the authors regarding the fuzzy aspects of finitely supported structures. Considering the notion of finite support, we introduce a new degree of membership association between a crisp set and a ...

On Tarski's Foundations of the Geometry of Solids [PDF]
AbstractThe paper [Tarski:Les fondements de la géométrie des corps,Annales de la Société Polonaise de Mathématiques, pp. 29–34, 1929] is in many ways remarkable. We address three historico-philosophical issues that force themselves upon the reader. First we argue that in this paper Tarski did not live up to his own methodological ideals, but displayed ...

(Co‐)Reference All the Way Down: A Unified Theory of (Pro) Nominals in Ordinary English
ABSTRACT This essay joins two themes, both arising from Kripke's inspiring ideas in the theory of reference. The first theme concerns reference in general. The second examines the notion of co‐reference and the role it plays in a unified theory of pronouns for natural language.
