Quantum Automating TC⁰-Frege Is LWE-Hard

Authors: Noel Arteche, Gaia Carenini, and Matthew Gray

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 300, 39th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2024)


Abstract
We prove the first hardness results against efficient proof search by quantum algorithms. We show that under Learning with Errors (LWE), the standard lattice-based cryptographic assumption, no quantum algorithm can weakly automate TC⁰-Frege. This extends the line of results of Krajíček and Pudlák (Information and Computation, 1998), Bonet, Pitassi, and Raz (FOCS, 1997), and Bonet, Domingo, Gavaldà, Maciel, and Pitassi (Computational Complexity, 2004), who showed that Extended Frege, TC⁰-Frege and AC⁰-Frege, respectively, cannot be weakly automated by classical algorithms if either the RSA cryptosystem or the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol are secure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first interaction between quantum computation and propositional proof search.

Depth-d Frege Systems Are Not Automatable Unless 𝖯 = NP

Authors: Theodoros Papamakarios

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 300, 39th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2024)


Abstract
We show that for any integer d > 0, depth-d Frege systems are NP-hard to automate. Namely, given a set S of depth-d formulas, it is NP-hard to find a depth-d Frege refutation of S in time polynomial in the size of the shortest such refutation. This extends the result of Atserias and Müller [JACM, 2020] for the non-automatability of resolution - a depth-1 Frege system - to Frege systems of any depth d > 0.

Exponential Separation Between Powers of Regular and General Resolution over Parities

Authors: Sreejata Kishor Bhattacharya, Arkadev Chattopadhyay, and Pavel Dvořák

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 300, 39th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2024)


Abstract
Proving super-polynomial lower bounds on the size of proofs of unsatisfiability of Boolean formulas using resolution over parities is an outstanding problem that has received a lot of attention after its introduction by Itsykson and Sokolov [Dmitry Itsykson and Dmitry Sokolov, 2014]. Very recently, Efremenko, Garlík and Itsykson [Klim Efremenko et al., 2023] proved the first exponential lower bounds on the size of ResLin proofs that were additionally restricted to be bottom-regular. We show that there are formulas for which such regular ResLin proofs of unsatisfiability continue to have exponential size even though there exist short proofs of their unsatisfiability in ordinary, non-regular resolution. This is the first super-polynomial separation between the power of general ResLin and that of regular ResLin for any natural notion of regularity. Our argument, while building upon the work of Efremenko et al. [Klim Efremenko et al., 2023], uses additional ideas from the literature on lifting theorems.

Failure of Feasible Disjunction Property for k-DNF Resolution and NP-Hardness of Automating It

Authors: Michal Garlík

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 300, 39th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2024)


Abstract
We show that for every integer k ≥ 2, the Res(k) propositional proof system does not have the weak feasible disjunction property. Next, we generalize a result of Atserias and Müller [Atserias and Müller, 2019] to Res(k). We show that if NP is not included in P (resp. QP, SUBEXP) then for every integer k ≥ 1, Res(k) is not automatable in polynomial (resp. quasi-polynomial, subexponential) time.

Resolution with Counting: Dag-Like Lower Bounds and Different Moduli

Authors: Fedor Part and Iddo Tzameret

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 151, 11th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2020)


Abstract
Resolution over linear equations is a natural extension of the popular resolution refutation system, augmented with the ability to carry out basic counting. Denoted Res(lin_R), this refutation system operates with disjunctions of linear equations with boolean variables over a ring R, to refute unsatisfiable sets of such disjunctions. Beginning in the work of [Ran Raz and Iddo Tzameret, 2008], through the work of [Dmitry Itsykson and Dmitry Sokolov, 2014] which focused on tree-like lower bounds, this refutation system was shown to be fairly strong. Subsequent work (cf. [Jan Krajícek, 2017; Dmitry Itsykson and Dmitry Sokolov, 2014; Jan Krajícek and Igor Carboni Oliveira, 2018; Michal Garlik and Lezsek Kołodziejczyk, 2018]) made it evident that establishing lower bounds against general Res(lin_R) refutations is a challenging and interesting task since the system captures a "minimal" extension of resolution with counting gates for which no super-polynomial lower bounds are known to date. We provide the first super-polynomial size lower bounds on general (dag-like) resolution over linear equations refutations in the large characteristic regime. In particular we prove that the subset-sum principle 1+ x_1 + ̇s +2^n x_n = 0 requires refutations of exponential-size over ℚ. Our proof technique is nontrivial and novel: roughly speaking, we show that under certain conditions every refutation of a subset-sum instance f=0, where f is a linear polynomial over ℚ, must pass through a fat clause containing an equation f=α for each α in the image of f under boolean assignments. We develop a somewhat different approach to prove exponential lower bounds against tree-like refutations of any subset-sum instance that depends on n variables, hence also separating tree-like from dag-like refutations over the rationals. We then turn to the finite fields regime, showing that the work of Itsykson and Sokolov [Dmitry Itsykson and Dmitry Sokolov, 2014] who obtained tree-like lower bounds over ?_2 can be carried over and extended to every finite field. We establish new lower bounds and separations as follows: (i) for every pair of distinct primes p,q, there exist CNF formulas with short tree-like refutations in Res(lin_{?_p}) that require exponential-size tree-like Res(lin_{?_q}) refutations; (ii) random k-CNF formulas require exponential-size tree-like Res(lin_{?_p}) refutations, for every prime p and constant k; and (iii) exponential-size lower bounds for tree-like Res(lin_?) refutations of the pigeonhole principle, for every field ?.

Resolution Lower Bounds for Refutation Statements

Authors: Michal Garlík

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 138, 44th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2019)


Abstract
For any unsatisfiable CNF formula we give an exponential lower bound on the size of resolution refutations of a propositional statement that the formula has a resolution refutation. We describe three applications. (1) An open question in [Atserias and Müller, 2019] asks whether a certain natural propositional encoding of the above statement is hard for Resolution. We answer by giving an exponential size lower bound. (2) We show exponential resolution size lower bounds for reflection principles, thereby improving a result in [Albert Atserias and María Luisa Bonet, 2004]. (3) We provide new examples of CNFs that exponentially separate Res(2) from Resolution (an exponential separation of these two proof systems was originally proved in [Nathan Segerlind et al., 2004]).

Size-Degree Trade-Offs for Sums-of-Squares and Positivstellensatz Proofs

Authors: Albert Atserias and Tuomas Hakoniemi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 137, 34th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2019)


Abstract
We show that if a system of degree-k polynomial constraints on n Boolean variables has a Sums-of-Squares (SOS) proof of unsatisfiability with at most s many monomials, then it also has one whose degree is of the order of the square root of n log s plus k. A similar statement holds for the more general Positivstellensatz (PS) proofs. This establishes size-degree trade-offs for SOS and PS that match their analogues for weaker proof systems such as Resolution, Polynomial Calculus, and the proof systems for the LP and SDP hierarchies of Lovász and Schrijver. As a corollary to this, and to the known degree lower bounds, we get optimal integrality gaps for exponential size SOS proofs for sparse random instances of the standard NP-hard constraint optimization problems. We also get exponential size SOS lower bounds for Tseitin and Knapsack formulas. The proof of our main result relies on a zero-gap duality theorem for pre-ordered vector spaces that admit an order unit, whose specialization to PS and SOS may be of independent interest.
