The purpose of this paper is to generalize Kripke semantics for propositional modal logic by geometrizing it, that is, by considering the space underlying the collection of all possible worlds as an important semantic feature in its own right, so as to take the idea of accessibility seriously. The resulting new modal semantics is worked out in a setting coming from Riemannian geometry, where Kripke semantics is shown to correspond to a particular case, namely, the discrete one. Several correspondence results, (...) established between variants of well-known modal systems and corresponding geometric properties, illustrate the import of this new framework. (shrink)
