Abstract: this paper a series of languages adequate for expressing exactly
those properties checkable in a series of computational complexity classes. For
example, we show that a property of graphs (respectively groups, binary strings,
etc.) is in polynomial time if and only if it is expressible in the first order
language of graphs (respectively groups, binary strings, etc.) together with a
least fixed point operator. As another example, a property is in logspace if and
only if it is expressible in... (Update)
