Title: Generalized quantifiers using team semantics

Abstract: Dependence logic provides an elegant approach for introducing dependencies between variables into the object language of first-order logic. In [1] generalized quantifiers were introduced in this context. However, a satisfactory account was only achieved for monotone increasing generalized quantifiers.
In this paper, we modify the fundamental semantical guideline of dependence logic to create a framework that adequately handles both monotone and non-monotone generalized quantifiers. We demonstrate that this new logic can interpret dependence logic and possesses the same expressive power as existential second-order logic (ESO) on the level of formulas. Additionally, we establish truth conditions for generalized quantifiers and prove that the extended logic remains conservative over first-order logic with generalized quantifiers and is able to express the branching of continuous generalized quantifiers.
