The Topological Mu-Calculus: completeness and decidability

We study the topological $\mu$-calculus, based on both Cantor derivative and closure modalities, proving completeness, decidability and FMP over general topological spaces, as well as over $T_0$ and $T_D$ spaces. We also investigate relational $\mu$-calculus, providing general completeness results for all natural fragments of $\mu$-calculus over many different classes of relational frames. Unlike most other such proofs for $\mu$-calculus, ours is model-theoretic, making an innovative use of a known Modal Logic method (–the ‘final’ submodel of the canonical model), that has the twin advantages of great generality and essential simplicity.
