Abstract
Suppose is a prime, is a positive integer, and is a univariate polynomial of degree with coefficients of absolute value . We show that for any fixed , we can compute the number of roots in of in deterministic time . This fixed parameter tractability appears to be new for . A consequence for arithmetic geometry is that we can efficiently compute Igusa zeta functions , for univariate polynomials, assuming the degree of is fixed.
