Their theory is called BET theory, after the initials in their last names.

A theory of truth for a language can serve as a theory of meaning.

They have applications in many areas of mathematics, including Galois theory, invariant theory, group theory, combinatorics, as well as further applications outside mathematics, including general relativity.
