Abstract

The CSP of a first-order theory T is the problem of deciding for a given finite set S of atomic formulas whether \(T \cup S\) is satisfiable. Let \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) be two theories with countably infinite models and disjoint signatures. Nelson and Oppen presented conditions that imply decidability (or polynomial-time decidability) of \({{\mathrm{CSP}}}(T_1 \cup T_2)\) under the assumption that \({{\mathrm{CSP}}}(T_1)\) and \({{\mathrm{CSP}}}(T_2)\) are decidable (or polynomial-time decidable). We show that for a large class of \(\omega \)-categorical theories \(T_1, T_2\) the Nelson-Oppen conditions are not only sufficient, but also necessary for polynomial-time tractability of \({{\mathrm{CSP}}}(T_1 \cup T_2)\) (unless P = NP).

In other words: for all sets S of atomic \((\tau _1 \cup \tau _2)\)-formulas, we have that \(S \cup T\) is satisfiable if and only if \(S \cup (T_1 \cup T_2)\) is satisfiable.
