Model Theory of Temporal Logic

Part of this project is carried out as part of the Graduiertenkolleg on language, information, and logics.

The purpose of this project is to study fundamental problems of model theory for different temporal logics. On the one hand, this concerns the transfer of classical definitions and concepts studied in model theory such as substructures, p-morphisms, ultrafilters, and ultraproducts to the area of temporal logics, with the goal of deriving, say, completeness or Löwenheim-Skolem theorems. On the other hand, issues such as stuttering invariance or non-standard semantics that are more genuine to temporal logics and are often motivated by computer science applications, raise interesting questions concerning the characterization of models.
