Post complete and 0-axiomatizable modal logics (Q920977)

A modal logic is said to be Post complete if it has no proper consistent extensions. The Post number p(L) of a logic L is the cardinal of the set of all Post complete extensions of L. The author proves that for any n, \(1\leq n\leq 2^{\aleph_ 0}\), there exist \(2^{\aleph_ 0}\) normal modal logics with Post number equal to n. The investigation is done via the study of dual spaces of free algebras without generators over the varieties of modal algebras.
