We describe a deterministic algorithm for finding a generating element of the multiplicative group of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ where $p$ is a prime. In time polynomial in $p$ and $n$, the algorithm either outputs an element that…

This paper studies the hierarchy of local minimums of a polynomial in the space. For this purpose, we first compute H-minimums, for which the first and second order optimality conditions are satisfied. To compute each H-minimum, we…
In [Huang-Raskind 2009], the authors proved that the discrete logarithm problem in a prime finite field is random polynomial time equivalent to computing the ramification signature of a real quadratic field. In this paper, we do this for a…
A special homotopy continuation method, as a combination of the polyhedral homotopy and the linear product homotopy, is proposed for computing all the isolated solutions to a special class of polynomial systems. The root number bound of…
We provide an irreducibility test in the ring K[[x]][y] whose complexity is quasi-linear with respect to the valuation of the discriminant, assuming the input polynomial F square-free and K a perfect field of characteristic zero or greater…
Modular composition is the problem of computing the coefficient vector of the polynomial $f(g(x)) \bmod h(x)$, given as input the coefficient vectors of univariate polynomials $f$, $g$, and $h$ over an underlying field $\mathbb{F}$. While…
We consider the problem of finding a sparse multiple of a polynomial. Given f in F[x] of degree d over a field F, and a desired sparsity t, our goal is to determine if there exists a multiple h in F[x] of f such that h has at most t…

A recurring task in particle physics and statistics is to compute the complex critical points of a product of powers of affine-linear functions. The logarithmic discriminant characterizes exponents for which such a function has a degenerate…
One question that we investigate in this paper is, how can we build log-concave polynomials using sparse polynomials as building blocks? More precisely, let $f = \sum\_{i = 0}^d a\_i X^i \in \mathbb{R}^+[X]$ be a polynomial satisfying the…
Motivated by the quest for a logic for PTIME and recent insights that the descriptive complexity of problems from linear algebra is a crucial aspect of this problem, we study the solvability of linear equation systems over finite groups and…
This paper reports on the computation of a discrete logarithm in the finite field $\mathbb F_{2^{30750}}$, breaking by a large margin the previous record, which was set in January 2014 by a computation in $\mathbb F_{2^{9234}}$. The present…
We define discrete generating series for arbitrary functions \( f \colon \mathbb{Z}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{C} \) and derive functional relations that these series satisfy. For linear difference equations with constant coefficients, we…
We study the problem of indexing irreducible polynomials over finite fields, and give the first efficient algorithm for this problem. Specifically, we show the existence of poly(n, log q)-size circuits that compute a bijection between {1,…
The cohomology ring of a finite group, with coefficients in a finite field, can be computed by a machine, as Carlson has showed. Here "compute" means to find a presentation in terms of generators and relations, and involves only the…
We analyse the complexity of solving the discrete logarithm problem and of testing the principality of ideals in a certain class of number fields. We achieve the subexponential complexity in $O(L(1/3,O(1)))$ when both the discriminant and…
We study factoriality and the class groups of locally acyclic cluster algebras. To do so, we introduce a new class of rings called finite Laurent intersection rings (FLIRs), which includes locally acyclic cluster algebras, full-rank upper…
