In 1984, H. W. Lenstra described an algorithm finding divisors of $N$ congruent to $r \mod S$. When $S^3 > N$, this algorithm runs in polynomial time and hence factors $N$ in time $N^{1/3+o(1)}$. Lenstra's algorithm relies on a sign change…

The discrete Gaussian $D_{L- t, s}$ is the distribution that assigns to each vector $x$ in a shifted lattice $L - t$ probability proportional to $e^{-\pi \|x\|^2/s^2}$. It has long been an important tool in the study of lattices. More…

Sylvester showed that the partition of an integer into a set of positive integers can be represented as a sum of the polynomial term and quasiperiodic components called the Sylvester waves. The wave itself is a weighted sum of the…
