Two-Variable Logic on Data Trees and XML Reasoning

Summary: Decidability of FO^2 satisfiability over data trees when navigation is restricted to child and next-sibling and data comparisons are equality-only. Implies decidability of satisfiability/containment for a data-aware XPath fragment and of implication for unary key/inclusion constraints. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
