Query Evaluation by Circuits

Summary: First study of circuit complexity for conjunctive-query evaluation: polylog-depth circuits under degree constraints whose size matches the polymatroid bound up to polylog factors. Defines output-sensitive circuit families and gives circuits matching RAM-size bounds. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
