Title
Regular Languages Definable by Majority Quantifiers with Two Variables
Abstract
In this paper we consider the class of all regular languages definable by the extended majority quantifier and the order predicate but using only two variables. The main part of the paper is the presentation of a geometric method which is used to show that a given regular language cannot be defined by such formulas. Applying this method we can give a necessary condition in terms of an equation as well as an upper and a lower bound for the corresponding class of monoids. As a consequence we obtain that FO + MAJ2[ 2[
