Abstract
We introduce a family of modal expansions of Belnap–Dunn four-valued logic and related systems, and interpret them in many-valued Kripke structures. Using algebraic logic techniques and topological duality for modal algebras, and generalizing the so-called twist-structure representation, we axiomatize by means of Hilbert-style calculi the least modal logic over the four-element Belnap lattice and some of its axiomatic extensions. We study the algebraic models of these systems, relating them to the algebraic semantics of classical multi-modal logic. This link allows us to prove that both local and global consequence of the least four-valued modal logic enjoy the finite model property and are therefore decidable.
