Abstract: We establish a general connection between fixpoint logic and complexity. On
one side, we have fixpoint logic, parameterized by the choices of 1st-order operators
(inflationary or noninflationary) and iteration constructs (deterministic, nondeterministic,
or alternating). On the other side, we have the complexity classes between
P and EXPTIME. Our parameterized fixpoint logics capture the complexity classes
P, NP, PSPACE, and EXPTIME, but equality is achieved only over ordered structures.
