An egocentric logic of de dicto and de re knowing who
The article proposes de dicto and de re versions of "knowing-who” modalities as well as studies the interplay between them and modalities “knows” and “for all agents”. It shows that neither of these four modalities is definable through a combination of the three others. In addition, a sound and complete logical system describing the properties of de dicto “knows who”, “knows”, and “for all agents” modalities is presented.

Abstract

The article proposes de dicto and de re versions of "knowing-who” modalities as well as studies the interplay between them and modalities “knows” and “for all agents”. It shows that neither of these four modalities is definable through a combination of the three others. In addition, a sound and complete logical system describing the properties of de dicto “knows who”, “knows”, and “for all agents” modalities is presented.
