Logics for Contact and Measure

Résumé

We enrich contact algebras with a new binary relation that compares the size of regions, and provide axiom systems for various logics of contact and measure. Our contribution is three-fold: (1) we characterize the relations on a Boolean algebra that derive from a measure, thereby improving an old result of Kraft, Pratt and Seidenberg; (2) for all n≥1, we axiomatize the logic of regular closed sets of R^n with null boundary; (3) considering a broad class of equational theories that contains all logics of contact, we prove that they all have unary or finitary unification, and that unification and admissibility are decidable.
