Abstract

In this paper we answer the question what implicit proof assertions in the provability logic GL can be realized by explicit proof terms. In particular we show that the fragment of GL which can be realized by generalized proof terms of GLA is exactly S4GL and equals the fragment that can be realized by proof-terms of LP. In the final sections of this paper we establish the disjunction property for GLA and give an axiomatization for GLS4.
