Cut-free Display Calculi for Relation Algebras

We extend Belnap's Display Logic to give a cut-free Gentzen-style calculus for relation algebras. The calculus gives many axiomatic extensions of relation algebras by the addition of further structural rules. It also appears to be the first purely prepositional Gentzen-style calculus for relation algebras.
