Abstract
The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) of a first-order theory T is the computational problem of deciding whether a given conjunction of atomic formulas is satisfiable in some model of T . We study the computational complexity of CSP(T 1 ∪ T 2) where T 1 and T 2 are theories with disjoint finite relational signatures. We prove that if T 1 and T 2 are the theories of temporal structures, i.e., structures where all relations have a first-order definition in (Q; <), then CSP(T 1 ∪ T 2) is in P or NP-complete. To this end we prove a purely algebraic statement about the structure of the lattice of locally closed clones over the domain Q that contain Aut(Q; <).
