Topological semantics of conservativity and interpretability logics

Abstract

We introduce and develop a topological semantics of conservativity logics and interpretability logics. We prove the topological compactness theorem of consistent normal extensions of the conservativity logic $\mathbf{CL}$ by extending Shehtman's ultrabouquet construction method to our framework. As a consequence, we prove that several extensions of $\mathbf{CL}$ such as $\mathbf{IL}$, $\mathbf{ILM}$, $\mathbf{ILP}$ and $\mathbf{ILW}$ are strongly complete with respect to our topological semantics.
