dc.description.abstract | The spectrum of a first-order logic sentence is the set of natural numbers that are cardinalities of its finite models.In this paper we show that when restricted to using only two variables, but allowing counting quantifiers, the class of spectra of first-order logic sentences is exactly the class of semilinear sets, and hence, closed under complement. At the heart of our proof are semilinear characterisations for the existence of regular and biregular graphs, the class of graphs in which there are a priori bounds on the degrees of the vertices. Our proof also provides a simple characterisation of models of two-variable logic with counting -- that is, up to renaming and extending the relation names, they are simply a collection of regular and biregular graphs. | - |
