Circuits and Formulas for Datalog over Semirings
Summary: Datalog provenance polynomials over absorptive semirings; analyzes optimal circuit/formula depth and size as a function of input m. Dichotomy for several Datalog classes: polynomial-size formulas exist or not; depth Theta(log m) vs Theta(log^2 m); polynomial fringe yields O(log^2 m) circuits; semiring-boundedness characterizations.
