We present a framework for automatic program abstraction that can be used for model checking any formula of the modal mu-calculus. Unlike traditional conservative abstractions which can only prove universal properties, our framework can both prove and disprove any formula including arbitrarily nested path quantifiers. We discuss algorithms for automatically generating an abstract Modal Transition System (MTS) by adapting existing predicate and cartesian abstraction techniques. We show that model checking arbitrary formulas using abstract MTSs can be done at the same computational cost as model checking universal formulas using conservative abstractions.
