ATL
is a temporal logic geared towards the specification and verification of properties in multi-agents systems. It allows to reason on the existence of strategies for coalitions of agents in order to enforce a given property. We prove that the standard definition of
ATL
(built on modalities “Next”, “Always” and “Until”) has to be completed in order to express the duals of its modalities: it is necessary to add the modality “Release”. We then precisely characterize the complexity of
ATL
model-checking when the number of agents is not fixed. We prove that it is
$\bf \Delta_{\rm 2}^{\sf P}$
- and
$\bf \Delta_{\rm 3}^{\sf P}$
-complete, depending on the underlying multi-agent model (
ATS
and
CGS
resp.). We also prove that
ATL
+ model-checking is
$\bf \Delta_{\rm 3}^{\sf P}$
-complete over both models, even with a fixed number of agents.
