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…

In this paper we give a factorization theorem for the ring of exponential polynomials in many variables over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 with an exponentiation. This is a generalization of the factorization theorem due…

The paper studies logarithmic convexity and concavity of power series with coefficients involving q-gamma functions or q-shifted factorials with respect to a parameter contained in their arguments. The principal motivating examples of such…

We present an algorithm for factoring linear differential operators with coefficients in a finite separable extension of F p (x). Our methods rely on specific tools arising in positive characteristic: p-curvature, structure of simple…

Let ${\cal C}$ be an algebraic space curve defined parametrically by ${\cal P}(t)\in {\Bbb K}(t)^{n},\,n\geq 2$. In this paper, we introduce a polynomial, the T--function, $T(s)$, which is defined by means of a univariate resultant…

The Zeta function of a curve $C$ over a finite field may be expressed in terms of the characteristic polynomial of a unitary matrix $\Theta_C$. Following the work of Rudnick, we compute the expected value of $\mbox{tr}(\Theta_C^n)$ over the…

Let $q$ be a prime power and $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements. Let $e$ and $d$ be positive integers. In this paper, for $d\geq2$ and $q\equiv1(\mathrm{mod}~ed(d-1))$, we calculate the number of points on an algebraic curve…

The elliptic curve method (ECM) is one of the best factorization methods available. It is possible to use hyperelliptic curves instead of elliptic curves but it is in theory slower. We use special hyperelliptic curves and Kummer surfaces to…

We present a few factorizations of polynomials over finite fields. These factorizations are related to traces, compositions of polynomials and binomial coefficients. As a corollary we obtain a description of all irreducible polynomials…

The logarithm function and the exponential function are, by nature, base dependent. Thus, in this paper I introduces an arbitrary base in the logarithm and exponential functions, both dependent on $q$, in order to have $\log_a(x;q)$ and…

The SEA algorithm for computing the cardinality of elliptic curves over finite fields in many characteristic uses modular polynomials. These polynomials come into different flavors, and methods to compute them flourished. Once equipped with…

We introduce a new method for showing that the roots of the characteristic polynomial of certain finite lattices are all nonnegative integers. This method is based on the notion of a quotient of a poset which will be developed to explain…

For a fixed prime p, we consider the (finite) set of supersingular elliptic curves over $\bar{\mathbb{F}}$. Hecke operators act on this set. We compute the asymptotic frequence with which a given supersingular elliptic curve visits another…

The Lyness map is a birational map in the plane which provides one of the simplest discrete analogues of a Hamiltonian system with one degree of freedom, having a conserved quantity and an invariant symplectic form. As an example of a…
