A Journey to the Frontiers of Query Rewritability

Summary: Proves the FUS/FES conjecture for a broad class of BDD theories called “local,” showing that FES plus rewritability implies uniform boundedness in that regime. Analyzes how non-local BDD theories can deviate and uncovers surprising phenomena that challenge prevailing intuitions about rewritability. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
