Abstract: We consider infinitary logic with two variable symbols
and counting quantifiers, C
, and its intersection
with Ptime on finite relational structures. In particular
we exhibit a Ptime canonization procedure for
finite relational structures which provides unique representatives
up to equivalence in C
. As a consequence
we obtain a recursive presentation for the class of all
those queries on arbitrary finite relational structures
which are both Ptime and definable in C
. The proof
renders ... (Update)
