Does any 'logical' theory have a bounded ∞-pretopos as syntactic category?

Stone duality may be understood as providing a duality between syntax and semantics for propositional logic, so that a theory may be recovered from its models. In order to do likewise for first-order …

Why are possibility and necessity dual?

There is a setting as outlined here, where by composing left and right adjoints to the pullback with the pullback, one can form an adjunction between a comonadic necessity and a monadic possibility op …

What is the motivation for maps of adjunctions?

The 2-category of categories, adjunctions, and conjugate natural transformations (i.e., maps of adjunctions between the same categories) is used in an approach to modal type theory in Adjoint Logic wi …

Is there a common framework for Tannaka and Gabriel-Ulmer reconstruction theorems?

Gabriel-Ulmer duality is a biequivalence between the 2-category of finite limit categories and the 2-category of locally finitely presentable categories. It allows for the reconstruction of a theory f …
