On the infinite-valued Lukasiewicz logic that preserves degrees of truth

Lukasiewicz's infinite-valued logic is commonly defined as the set of formulas that take the value 1 under all evaluations in the Lukasiewicz algebra on the unit real interval. In the literature a deductive system axiomatized in a Hilbert style was associated to it, and was later shown to be semantically defined from Lukasiewicz algebra by using a "truthpreserving" scheme. This deductive system is algebraizable, non-selfextensional and does not satisfy the deduction theorem. In addition, there exists no Gentzen calculus fully adequate for it. Another presentation of the same deductive system can be obtained from a substructural Gentzen . In this paper we use the framework of abstract algebraic logic to study a different deductive system which uses the aforementioned algebra under a scheme of "preservation of degrees of truth". We characterize the resulting deductive system in a natural way by using the lattice filters of Wajsberg algebras, and also by using a ...
