The Gödel-McKinsey-Tarski embedding for infinitary intuitionistic logic and its extensions

The Gödel-McKinsey-Tarski embedding allows to view intuitionistic logic through the lenses of modal logic. In this work, an extension of the modal embedding to infinitary intuitionistic logic is introduced. First, a neighborhood semantics for a family of axiomatically presented infinitary modal logics is given and soundness and completeness are proved via the method of canonical models. The semantics is then exploited to obtain a labelled sequent calculus with good structural properties. Next, soundness and faithfulness of the embedding are established by transfinite induction on the height of derivations: the proof is obtained directly without resorting to non-constructive principles. Finally, the modal embedding is employed in order to relate classical, intuitionistic and modal derivability in infinitary logic extended with axioms.
