Random Cnf's are Hard for the Polynomial Calculus
We show a general reduction that derives lower bounds on degrees of polynomial calculus proofs of tautologies over any field of characteristic other than 2 from lower bounds for resolution proofs of a related set of linear equations modulo 2. We apply this to derive linear lower bounds on the degrees of PC proofs of randomly generated tautologies.
