Abstract

Galois connections are pairs of functions, defined over ordered sets, that preserve some particular aspects.
They are studied in the context of algebraic structures. As a logic topic, we take the four-valued logic PM4N
that contemplates, at least, two modal operators for the notions of necessary and possible. In this paper, we
develop a particular four-valued implication for PM4N, which constitutes a Galois pair with the two modal
operators. Then, we show some properties of the logic just considering the correlates algebraic developments.
