Abstract

We prove that an ω(log3n) lower bound for the three-party number-on-the-forehead (NOF) communication complexity of the set-disjointness function implies an nω(1) size lower bound for tree-like Lovász-Schrijver systems that refute unsatisfiable CNFs. More generally, we prove that an nΩ(1) lower bound for the (k+1)-party NOF communication complexity of set-disjointness implies a $2^{n^{\Omega(1)}}$ size lower bound for all tree-like proof systems whose formulas are degree k polynomial inequalities.
