We consider the fragments FO2, Σ2 ∩FO2, Π2 ∩FO2, and Δ2 of first-order logic FO[2. Moreover, the first extension of rankers admits a characterization of Σ2 ∩ FO2 while the other leads to a characterization of Π2 ∩ FO2. Both versions of rankers yield characterizations of the fragment Δ2 = Σ2∩Π2. As a byproduct, we also obtain characterizations based on unambiguous temporal logic and unambiguous interval temporal logic.
