Abstract
We will present proof-theoretical and algebraic properties for the probability logics FP(C,L) and FP(L,L), meant for reasoning on the uncertainty of Classical and Lukasiewicz events, respectively. Methodologically speaking, we will consider a translation function between formulas of these logics to the propositional language of Lukasiewicz calculus that allows us to apply the latter and the well developed theory of MV-algebras directly to probabilistic reasoning. More precisely, leveraging on such translation map, we will show proof-theoretical properties for FP(L,L) and introduce a class of algebras with respect to which FP(C,L) and FP(L,L) are proved to be locally sound and complete.
