....and finally became known as E#cient Interpolation Property (EIP in what follows) EIP was shown to be true for some weak proof systems and it was also remarked that for every proof system (be it weak or strong) EIP implies conditional lower bounds. Unfortunately, it turned out rather soon [KP98, BPR00] that neither Frege nor Extended Frege have E#cient Interpolation modulo (somewhat ironically) hardness assumptions of the same sort that are needed to prove conditional lower bounds for proof systems with EIP. This omnipresent hardness assumption is nothing else as the existence of pseudorandom ....

....ecient interpolation theorems; we refer the reader to the excellent survey [BP98] for more details about this and also as to a good starting point for learning more about propositional proof complexity in general. One convenient framework for the theoretical study of Question 2 was proposed in [BPR00] Namely, they called a proof system P automatizable if there exists a deterministic algorithm A which, given a tautology , returns its P proof in time polynomial in the size of the shortest P proof of . The de nition of a quasi automatizable proof system is given in the same way, but we ....
....comes from the connection between automatizability and ecient interpolation (every automatizable proof system has ecient interpolation, and the property of having ecient interpolation is indeed anti monotone w.r.t. the strength of the system) Anyway, given this connection, the results from [KP98, BPR00] imply that Extended Frege and TC Frege proof systems respectively are not automatizable assuming some widely believed cryptographic assumptions. BDG 99] extended the latter result to bounded depth Frege but under a much stronger assumption. We are primarily interested in the ....

Recall the general de nition of automatizability from [BPR00]. We give it here only for the special cases of Resolution; on the other hand, it is presented for arbitrary classes of unsatis able CNFs (as opposed to the class of all unsatis able CNFs in [BPR00] De nition 2.3 A class C of unsatis able CNFs is (quasi )automatizable (with respect to ....
