We know of descriptive complexity characterizations of classes such as P, and NP, which use First Order logic, and operators. Does BPP have a characterization under descriptive complexity, too(any reference known?)?

According to the paper: "... probabilistic classes such as BPP have received very little attention in descriptive complexity theory yet ..." $\endgroup$– Marzio De BiasiJul 1, 2019 at 6:34
