On sufficient conditions for unsatisfiability of random formulas.

A descriptive complexity approach to random 3-SAT is initiated. We show that unsatisfiability of any significant fraction of random 3-CNF formulas cannot be certified by any property that is expressible in Datalog. Combined with the known relationship between the complexity of constraint satisfactio...
