    The core of this PhD dissertation is basically twofold : On one hand, I get some new results on the relationship between compact groups and bounded hyperimaginaries, extending a little bit the classical results of Lascar ...

    Investigations into the role of translations in abstract algebraic logic 

    Moraschini, Tommaso (Date of defense: 2016-06-08)

    This memoir is divided into two parts, devoted to two topics in (ab-stract) algebraic logic. In the first part we develop a hierarchy in which propositional logics “L” are classified according to the definability conditions ...

    The four main chapters in this dissertation, while each largely self-standing, can be seen as together providing an extended defence of the view that classical mereology is analytically true. In chapter 1, I criticise Eli ...

    Operators and strong versions of sentential logics in Abstract Algebraic Logic 

    Albuquerque, Hugo Cardoso (Date of defense: 2016-03-16)

    This dissertation presents the results of our research on some recent devel-opments in Abstract Algebraic Logic (AAL), namely on the Suszko operator, the Leibniz filters, and truth-equational logics. Part I builts and ...
