Matrix identities and the pigeonhole principle
We show that short bounded-depth Frege proofs of matrix identities, such as P Q = I QP = I (over the field of two elements), imply short bounded-depth Frege proofs of the pigeonho...

Non-Automatizability of Bounded-Depth Frege Proofs
In this paper, we show how to extend the argument due to Bonet, Pitassi and Raz to show that bounded-depth Frege proofs do not have feasible interpolation, assuming that factoring...

Bounded-Depth Frege Lower Bounds for Weaker Pigeonhole Principles
We prove a quasi-polynomial lower bound on the size of bounded-depth Frege proofs of the pigeonhole principle PHPm n where m ´1 · 1 polylog nµn. This lower bound qualitatively ...
