An Algebraic Approach to the Complexity of Generalized Conjunctive Queries
Kolaitis and Vardi pointed out that constraint satisfaction and conjunctive query containment are essentially the same problem. We study the Boolean conjunctive queries under a mor...

A Characterisation of First-Order Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Abstract. We describe simple algebraic and combinatorial characterisations of finite relational core structures admitting finitely many obstructions. As a consequence, we show th...

Retractions to Pseudoforests
For a fixed graph H, let Ret(H) denote the problem of deciding whether a given input graph is retractable to H. We classify the complexity of Ret(H) when H is a graph (with loops ...

Constraint Satisfaction Problems with Infinite Templates
Allowing templates with infinite domains greatly expands the range of problems that can be formulated as a non-uniform constraint satisfaction problem. It turns out that many CSPs ...

Ruling Out Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Hard Constraint Satisfaction Problems
The maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP) is the following computational problem: an instance is a finite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal...
