A Proof Theory for Profinite Modal Algebras

In a previous paper, we showed that profinite $L$-algebras (where $L$ is a variety of modal algebras generated by its finite members) are monadic over $\mathbf{S}\mathbf{e}\mathbf{t}$. This monadicity result suggests that profinite $L$-algebras could be presented as Lindenbaum algebras for propositional theories in infinitary versions of propositional modal calculi. In this paper we identify such calculi as modal enrichments of Maehara-Takeuti’s infinitary extension of the sequent calculus $\mathbf{L}\mathbf{K}$. We also investigate correspondences between syntactic properties of the calculi and regularity/exactness properties of the opposite category of profinite $L$-algebras.
