For insert-only IVM of self-join-free conjunctive queries over semirings without additive inverses (natural, provenance, covariance, tropical), amortized constant update time plus constant delay holds iff the query is α-acyclic p-hierarchical.

Preservation theorems hold for all lattice semirings but fail for tropical, Viterbi, Łukasiewicz, and natural semirings, while existential preservation holds on finite interpretations for lattices unlike the Boolean case.
