Abstract

Separation logic has two spatial connectives *** and *** *** . It is known that *** and *** *** are not dual each other, like `and' and `or', `for all' and `there exists', `necessarily' and `possibly', etc. To define the dual connectives of *** and *** *** there are two choices: one is to take *** and *** *** as special logical connectives; another is to take *** and *** *** as binary modalities. Correspondingly, the dual modalities of *** and *** *** are represented as the dual connectives of *** and *** *** , and as the dual modalities of *** and *** *** , where the latter can be represented by unary modalities in the case that the formulas are defined in a special form.
