Fixed-point properties for predicate modal logics
It is well known that the propositional modal logic $\mathbf{GL}$ of provability satisfies the de Jongh-Sambin fixed-point property. On the other hand, Montagna showed that the predicate modal system $\mathbf{QGL}$, which is the natural variant of $\mathbf{GL}$, loses the fixed-point property. In this paper, we discuss some versions of the fixed-point property for predicate modal logics. First, we prove that several extensions of $\mathbf{QGL}$ including $\mathbf{NQGL}$ do not have the fixed-point property. Secondly, we prove the fixed-point theorem for the logic $\mathbf{QK} + \Box^{n+1} \bot$. As a consequence, we obtain that the class $\mathsf{FH}$ of Kripke frames which are transitive and finite height satisfies the fixed-point property locally. We also show the failure of the Craig interpolation property for $\mathbf{NQGL}$. Finally, we give a sufficient condition for formulas to have a fixed-point in $\mathbf{QGL}$.
