Hittmeir recently presented a deterministic algorithm that provably computes the prime factorisation of a positive integer $N$ in $N^{2/9+o(1)}$ bit operations. Prior to this breakthrough, the best known complexity bound for this problem…

The best known unconditional deterministic complexity bound for computing the prime factorization of an integer N is O(M_int(N^(1/4) log N)), where M_int(k) denotes the cost of multiplying k-bit integers. This result is due to…

A new integer deterministic factorization algorithm, rated at arithmetic operations to $O(N^{1/6+\varepsilon})$ arithmetic operations, is presented in this note. Equivalently, given the least $(\log N)/6$ bits of a factor of the balanced…

Let $a,b\in \mathbb{N}$ be fixed and coprime such that $a>b$, and let $N$ be any number of the form $a^n\pm b^n$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$. We will generalize a result of Bostan, Gaudry and Schost and prove that we may compute the prime…

A deterministic algorithm for factoring $n$ using $n^{1/3+o(1)}$ bit operations is presented. The algorithm tests the divisibility of $n$ by all the integers in a short interval at once, rather than integer by integer as in trial division.…

Assuming a conjectural upper bound for the least prime in an arithmetic progression, we show that n-bit integers may be multiplied in O(n log n 4^(log^* n)) bit operations.

We revisit the problem of rigorously and deterministically finding elements of large order in the multiplicative group of integers modulo a natural number $N$. Solving this problem is an essential step in several recent deterministic…

The best deterministic unconditionally proven integer factorization algorithms have exponential running time complexities of O(N^(1/4)) arithmetic operations, and conditional on the Riemann hypothesis, there is a deterministic algorithm of…

We introduce a new deterministic factoring algorithm, which could be described in the cryptographically fashionable term of "factoring with hints": we show that, given the knowledge of the factorisations of $O(N^{1/3+\epsilon})$ terms…

The fastest known algorithm for factoring a degree $n$ univariate polynomial over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ runs in time $O(n^{3/2 + o(1)}\text{polylog } q)$, and there is a reason to believe that the $3/2$ exponent represents a…

Given a large positive integer $N$, how quickly can one construct a prime number larger than $N$ (or between $N$ and 2N)? Using probabilistic methods, one can obtain a prime number in time at most $\log^{O(1)} N$ with high probability by…

An algorithm is given to factor an integer with $N$ digits in $\ln^m N$ steps, with $m$ approximately 4 or 5. Textbook quadratic sieve methods are exponentially slower. An improvement with the aid of an a particular function would provide a…

We consider a probabilistic quantum implementation of a variable of the Pocklington-Lehmer $N-1$ primality test using Shor's algorithm. O($\log^3 N \log\log N \log\log\log N$) elementary q-bit operations are required to determine the…

We present an algorithm to decide the primality of Proth numbers, N=2^e t+1, without assuming any unproven hypothesis. The expected running time and the worst case running time of the algorithm are O ((t log t + log N)log N) and O ((t log t…

Determining whether a given integer is prime or composite is a basic task in number theory. We present a primality test based on quantum order finding and the converse of Fermat's theorem. For an integer $N$, the test tries to find an…

We show that $n$-bit integers can be factorized by independently running a quantum circuit with $\tilde{O}(n^{3/2})$ gates for $\sqrt{n}+4$ times, and then using polynomial-time classical post-processing. The correctness of the algorithm…

We give a deterministic algorithm that very quickly proves the primality or compositeness of the integers N in a certain sequence, using an elliptic curve E/Q with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of Q(sqrt(-7)). The algorithm…

A New Number Theoretic Transform(NTT), which is a form of FFT, is introduced, that is faster than FFTs. Also, a multiplication algorithm is introduced that uses this to perform integer multiplication faster than O(n log n). It uses…

We present an algorithm that computes the product of two n-bit integers in O(n log n (4\sqrt 2)^{log^* n}) bit operations. Previously, the best known bound was O(n log n 6^{log^* n}). We also prove that for a fixed prime p, polynomials in…

We give an $O(N\cdot \log N\cdot 2^{O(\log^*N)})$ algorithm for multiplying two $N$-bit integers that improves the $O(N\cdot \log N\cdot \log\log N)$ algorithm by Sch\"{o}nhage-Strassen. Both these algorithms use modular arithmetic.…
