Awareness and forgetting of facts and agents

Authors: Hans Van Ditmarsch and Tim French


Abstract
We propose various logical semantics for change of awareness. The setting is that of multiple agents that may become aware of facts or other agents, or forget about them. We model these dynamics by quantifying over propositional variables and agent variables, in a multi-agent epistemic language with awareness operators, employing a notion of bisimulation with a clause for `same awareness'. The quantification is over all different ways in which an agent can become aware (or forget). Logics for change of awareness combine well with logics for informational change, as when a public announcement simultaneously makes you aware of an issue (`a plane just crashed on Schiphol Airport').

Deontic Epistemic stit Logic Distinguishing Modes of `Mens Rea'

Authors: Jan M. Broersen


Abstract
Most juridical systems contain the principle that an act is only unlaw- ful if the agent conducting the act has a `guilty mind' (`mens rea'). Dif- ferent law systems distinguish different modes of mens rea. For instance, American law distinguishes between `knowingly' performing a criminal act, `recklessness', `strict liability', etc. I will show we can formalize several of these categories. The formalism I use is a complete stit-logic featuring operators for stit-actions taking effect in `next' states, S5-knowledge op- erators and SDL-type obligation operators. The different modes of `mens rea' correspond to the violation conditions of different types of obligation definable in the logic.

Epistemic Games in Modal Logic: Joint Actions, Knowledge and Preferences all together

Authors: Emiliano Lorini, François Schwarzentruber, and Andreas Herzig


Abstract
We present in this work a sound and complete modal logic called EDLA (Epistemic Dynamic Logic of Agency) integrating the concepts of joint action, preference and knowledge and enabling to reason about epistemic games in strategic form. We provide complexity results for EDLA. In the second part of the paper, we study in EDLA the epistemic and rationality conditions of some classical solution concepts like Nash equilibrium and Iterated Deletion of Strictly Dominated Strategies (IDSDS). In the last part of the paper we combine EDLA with Dynamic Epistemic Logic (DEL) in order to model epistemic game dynamics.

Interpreting Product Update as Reasoning about Observations and Meta-Observations

Authors: Jan M. Broersen


Abstract
In this brief note, I would like to suggest that it makes sense to reinterpret product update, as introduced by Baltag, Moss and Solecki, as a system to account for observations and metaobservations, where a meta-observation is an observation of an observation. Under this interpretation we also take products of action models with meta-action models. I deliberate on some possible consequences of this extension to the interpretation of product update.

Revealed preference, iterated belief revision and dynamic games

Authors: Giacomo Bonanno


Abstract
In previous work (G. Bonanno, Rational choice and AGM belief revision, Artificial Intelligence, 2009) a semantics for AGM belief revision was proposed based on choice frames, borrowed from the rational choice literature. In this paper we discuss how to use choice frames to analyze extensive-form games. Given an extensive form with perfect recall, a choice frame can be used to represent a player's initial beliefs and her disposition to change those beliefs when she is informed that it is her turn to move. When some players move more than once along some play of the game, the issue of iterated belief revision arises. We provide a semantics for iterated belief revision in terms of choice frames and provide an outline of how to use choice frames to analyze solution concepts for extensive-form games.

Speech acts as announcements

Authors: Nadine Guiraud, Andreas Herzig, and Emiliano Lorini


Abstract
Our aim is to use the logic of public announcements and more generally dynamic epistemic logics as a logic of speech acts. To that end we start from a simple multimodal logic of beliefs and goals (without common belief), and add public announcements. We suppose that announcements do not modify goals. We then consider several variants of speech acts of assertive and directive force and provide a modelling in terms of speech acts.

Systematic judgment aggregators: An algebraic connection between social and logical structure

Authors: Daniel Eckert and Frederik Herzberg


Abstract
We present several results that show that systematic (complete) judgment aggregators can be viewed as both (2-valued) Boolean homomorphisms and as syntatic versions of reduced (ultra)products. Thereby, Arrovian judgment aggregators link the Boolean algebraic structures of (i) the set of coalitions (ii) the agenda, and (iii) the set of truth values of collective judgments. Since filters arise naturally in the context of Boolean algebras, these findings provide an explanation for the extraordinary effectiveness of the filter method in abstract aggregation theory.
