  • Abstract
    We prove exponential lower bounds on the size of a bounded depth Frege proof of a Tseitin graph-based contradiction, whenever the underlying graph is an expander. This is the first example of a contradiction, naturally formalized as a 3-CNF, that has no short bounded depth Frege proofs
