The present paper aims at establishing formal connections between correspondence phenomena, well known from the area of modal logic, and the theory of display calculi, originated by Belnap.These connections have been seminally observed and exploited by Marcus Kracht, in the context of his characterization of the modal axioms (which he calls primitive formulas) which can be effectively transformed into 'analytic' structural rules of display calculi. In this context, a rule is 'analytic' if adding it to a display calculus preserves Belnap's cut-elimination theorem.In recent years, the state-of-the-art in correspondence theory has been uniformly extended from classical modal logic to diverse families of nonclassical logics, ranging from (bi-)intuitionistic (modal) logics, linear, relevant and other substructural logics, to hybrid logics and mu-calculi. This generalization has given rise to a theory called unified correspondence, the most important technical tools of which are the algorithm ALBA, and the syntactic characterization of Sahlqvisttype classes of formulas and inequalities which is uniform in the setting of normal DLE-logics (logics the algebraic semantics of which is based on bounded distributive lattices).We apply unified correspondence theory, with its tools and insights, to extend Kracht's results and prove his claims in the setting of DLE-logics. The results of the present paper characterize the space of properly displayable DLE-logics.

The breadth of this work has stimulated many and varied applications. Some are closely related to the core concerns of the theory itself, such as the understanding of the relationship between different methodologies for obtaining canonicity results [40,15], or of the phenomenon of pseudocorrespondence [19]. Other, possibly surprising applications include the dual characterizations of classes of finite lattices [27]. Finally, the insights of unified correspondence theory have made it possible to determine the extent to which the Sahlqvist theory of classes of normal DLEs can be reduced to the Sahlqvist theory of normal Boolean expansions, by means of Gödel-type translations [20]. These and other results have given rise to a theory called unified correspondence [13]. Contents Tools of unified correspondence theory.The most important technical tools in unified correspondence are: (a) a very general syntactic definition of the class of Sahlqvist formulas, which applies uniformly to each logical signature and is given purely in terms of the order-theoretic properties of the algebraic interpretations of the logical connectives; (b) the algorithm ALBA, which effectively computes first-order correspondents of input term-inequalities, and is guaranteed to succeed on a wide class of inequalities (the so-called inductive inequalities) which, like the Sahlqvist class, can be defi...
The unified correspondence theory for distributive lattice expansion logics (DLE-logics) is specialized to strict implication logics. As a consequence of a general semantic consevativity result, a wide range of strict implication logics can be conservatively extended to Lambek Calculi over the bounded distributive full non-associative Lambek calculus (BDFNL). Many strict implication sequents can be transformed into analytic rules employing one of the main tools of unified correspondence theory, namely (a suitably modified version of) the Ackermann lemma based algorithm ALBA. Gentzen-style cut-free sequent calculi for BDFNL and its extensions with analytic rules which are transformed from strict implication sequents, are developed.
