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 ...

...all L k equivalence relations is precisely equivalence in first order logic, which is the same as isomorphism on finite structures. Martin Otto [14] proved that L 2 equivalence admits P canonization and thus that there is a logic capturing L 2 ( equivalence) invariant P. Our...
