Abstract :
We use the known linear lower bound for Tseitin´s tautologies for establishing linear lower bounds on the degree of Nullstellensatz proofs (in the usual boolean setting) for explicitly constructed systems of polynomials of a constant (in our construction 6) degree. It holds over any field of characteristic distinct from 2. Previously, a linear lower bound was proved for an explicitly constructed system of polynomials of a logarithmic degree
