Abstract
In this paper we discuss the problem of interpolation in the alternation levels of the \(\mu \)-Calculus. In particular, we consider interpolation and uniform interpolation for the alternation free fragment, and, more generally, for the level \(\varDelta _n\) of the alternation hierarchy of the \(\mu \)-calculus.
