Deciding the existence of uniform interpolants over transitive models

We consider the problem of the existence of uniform interpolants in the modal logic K4. We first prove that all ${\square}$ -free formulas have uniform interpolants in this logic. In the general case, we shall prove that given a modal formula ${\phi}$ and a sublanguage L of the language of the formula, we can decide whether ${\phi}$ has a uniform interpolant with respect to L in K4. The ${\square}$ -free case is proved using a reduction to the G?del L?b Logic GL, while in the general case we prove that the question of whether a modal formula has uniform interpolants over transitive frames can be reduced to a decidable expressivity problem on the???-calculus.
