Boolean valued semantics for infinitary logics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: It is well known that the completeness theorem for mathrmLomega1omega fails with respect to Tarski semantics. Mansfield showed that it holds for mathrmLinftyinfty if one replaces Tarski semantics with boolean valued semantics. We use forcing to improve his result in order to obtain a stronger form of boolean completeness (but only for mathrmLinftyomega). Leveraging on our completeness result, we establish the Craig interpolation property and a strong version of the omitting types theorem for mathrmLinftyomega with respect to boolean valued semantics. We also show that a weak version of these results holds for mathrmLinftyinfty (if one leverages instead on Mansfield's completeness theorem). Furthermore we bring to light (or in some cases just revive) several connections between the infinitary logic mathrmLinftyomega and the forcing method in set theory.
