Let $f(X,Y) \in \ZZ[X,Y]$ be an irreducible polynomial over $\QQ$. We give a Las Vegas absolute irreducibility test based on a property of the Newton polytope of $f$, or more precisely, of $f$ modulo some prime integer $p$. The same idea of…

We present a quantum algorithm which identifies with certainty a hidden subgroup of an arbitrary finite group G in only a polynomial (in log |G|) number of calls to the oracle. This is exponentially better than the best classical algorithm.…

We investigate the computational complexity of the discrete logarithm, the computational Diffie-Hellman and the decisional Diffie-Hellman problems in some identity black-box groups G_{p,t}, where p is a prime number and t is a positive…

Suppose $k,p\!\in\!\mathbb{N}$ with $p$ prime and $f\!\in\!\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a univariate polynomial with degree $d$ and all coefficients having absolute value less than $p^k$. We give a Las Vegas randomized algorithm that computes the…

We propose a simple one sided Monte-Carlo algorithm to distinguish, to any given degree of certainty, between certain symplectic and orthogonal groups over fields of odd order. The algorithm does not use an order oracle and works in…

In constructive recognition of a representation of a Classical group $G$, much attention has been paid to the natural representation as well as to generic (Black Box) algorithms that treat all representations uniformly. There are…

The group isomorphism problem asks whether two finite groups given by their Cayley tables are isomorphic or not. Although there are polynomial-time algorithms for some specific group classes, the best known algorithm for testing isomorphism…

In an earlier paper of Cadek, Vokrinek, Wagner, and the present authors, we investigated an algorithmic problem in computational algebraic topology, namely, the computation of all possible homotopy classes of maps between two topological…

Let $\mathbf{f}=(f\_1,\ldots,f\_m)$ and $\mathbf{g}=(g\_1,\ldots,g\_m)$ be two sets of $m\geq 1$ nonlinear polynomials over $\mathbb{K}[x\_1,\ldots,x\_n]$ ($\mathbb{K}$ being a field). We consider the computational problem of finding -- if…

Extraspecial groups form a remarkable subclass of p-groups. They are also present in quantum information theory, in particular in quantum error correction. We give here a polynomial time quantum algorithm for finding hidden subgroups in…

We consider a family of quantum spin systems which includes as special cases the ferromagnetic XY model and ferromagnetic Ising model on any graph, with or without a transverse magnetic field. We prove that the partition function of any…

We present an algorithm that, on input of a positive integer N together with its prime factorization, constructs a finite field F and an elliptic curve E over F for which E(F) has order N. Although it is unproved that this can be done for…

A perfect matching in an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set of vertex disjoint edges from $E$ that include all vertices in $V$. The perfect matching problem is to decide if $G$ has such a matching. Recently Rothvo{\ss} proved the striking…

[PLEASE SEE COMMENT] We consider the isomorphism problem for finite abelian groups and finite meta-cyclic groups. We prove that for a dense set of positive integers $n$, isomorphism testing for abelian groups of black-box type of order $n$…

An important problem of modern cryptography concerns secret public-key computations in algebraic structures. We construct homomorphic cryptosystems being (secret) epimorphisms f:G --> H, where G, H are (publically known) groups and H is…

We propose a public key encryption cryptosystem based on solutions of linear equation systems with predefinition of input parameters through shared secret computation for factorizable substitutions. The existence of multiple equivalent…

We construct a polynomial-time algorithm which given a graph $\Gamma$ finds the full set of non-equivalent Cayley representations of $\Gamma$ over the group $D\cong C_p\times C_{p^k}$, where $p\in\{2,3\}$ and $k\geq 1$. This result implies…

Under the assumption of a certain conjecture, for which there exists strong experimental evidence, we produce an efficient algorithm for constructive membership testing in the Suzuki groups Sz(q), where q = 2^{2m + 1} for some m > 0, in…

In this paper we consider the problem of testing whether two finite groups are isomorphic. Whereas the case where both groups are abelian is well understood and can be solved efficiently, very little is known about the complexity of…
