We show that disjointness requires randomized communication Omega(n^{1/2k} / (k-1)2^{k-1}2^{2^{k-1}}) in the general k-party number-on-the-forehead model of complexity. The previous best lower bound was Omega (\log n / k-1). By results of Beame, Pitassi, and Segerlind, this implies 2^{n^{Omega(1)}} lower bounds on the size of tree-like Lovasz-Schrijver proof systems needed to refute certain unsatisfiable CNFs, and super-polynomial lower bounds on the size of any tree-like proof system whose terms are degree-d polynomial inequalities for d = loglog n -O(logloglog n).

Joint work with Troy Lee from Rutgers University and Chris Peikert (SRI International).
