problem for a given constraint language is either in P or is NPcomplete, and identified all tractable cases. Schaefer’s dichotomy theorem actually shows that there are at most two constraint satisfaction problems, up to polynomial-time isomorphism (and these isomorphism types are distinct if and only if P ̸ = NP). We show that if one considers AC 0 isomorphisms, then there are exactly six isomorphism types (assuming that the complexity classes NP, P, ⊕L, NL, and L are all distinct). A similar classification holds for quantified constraint satisfaction problems.

We study the notion of conservative translation between logics introduced by Feitosa and D’Ottaviano [7]. We show that classical propositional logic (CPC) is universal in the sense that every finitary consequence relation over a countable set of formulas can be conservatively translated into CPC. The translation is computable if the consequence relation is decidable. More generally, we show that one can take instead of CPC a broad class of logics (extensions of a certain fragment of full Lambek calculus FL) including most nonclassical logics studied in the literature, hence in a sense, (almost) any two reasonable deductive systems can be conservatively translated into each other. We also provide some counterexamples, in particular the paraconsistent logic LP is not universal. 1
