Many-Sorted Hybrid Modal Languages

We continue our investigation into hybrid polyadic multi-sorted logic with a focus on expresivity related to the operational and axiomatic semantics of rogramming languages, and relations with first-order logic. We identify a fragment of the full logic, for which we prove sound and complete deduction and we show that it is powerful enough to represent both the programs and their semantics in an uniform way. Although weaker than other hybrid systems previously developed, this system is expected to have better computational properties. Finally, we provide a standard translation from full hybrid many-sorted logic to first-order logic.
