We address complexity issues for linear differential equations in characteristic $p>0$: resolution and computation of the $p$-curvature. For these tasks, our main focus is on algorithms whose complexity behaves well with respect to $p$. We…
Let $X$ be a scheme of finite type over $\mathbf{Z}$. For $p \in \mathcal{P}$ the set of prime numbers, let $N_{X}(p)$ be the number of $\mathbf{F}_{p}$-points of $X/\mathbf{F}_{p}$. For fixed $n\geq 1$ and $a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n} \in…
Given an elliptic curve $E$ and a positive integer $N$, we consider the problem of counting the number of primes $p$ for which the reduction of $E$ modulo $p$ possesses exactly $N$ points over $\mathbb F_p$. On average (over a family of…
We present several new heuristic algorithms to compute class polynomials and modular polynomials modulo a prime $p$ by revisiting the idea of working with supersingular elliptic curves. The best known algorithms to this date are based on…
We describe an algorithm to compute the number of points over finite fields on a broad class of modular curves: we consider quotients $X_H/W$ for $H$ a subgroup of $\GL_2(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$ such that for each prime $p$ dividing $n$, the…
Let a polytope $P$ be defined by a system $A x \leq b$. We consider the problem of counting the number of integer points inside $P$, assuming that $P$ is $\Delta$-modular, where the polytope $P$ is called $\Delta$-modular if all the rank…
We generalize Elkies's method, an essential ingredient in the SEA algorithm to count points on elliptic curves over finite fields of large characteristic, to the setting of p.p. abelian surfaces. Under reasonable assumptions related to the…
For smooth finite fields $F_q$ (i.e., when $q-1$ factors into small primes) the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) leads to the fastest known algebraic algorithms for many basic polynomial operations, such as multiplication, division,…
We explain how to determine the semistable reduction of a particular plane quartic curve at $p=3$ that appears in the attempts of Rouse, Sutherland, and Zureick-Brown to compute the rational points on the non-split Cartan modular curve…
Let $p$ be an odd prime number and let $X_0^+(p)$ be the quotient of the classical modular curve $X_0(p)$ by the action of the Atkin-Lehner operator $w_p$. In this paper we show how to compute explicit equations for the canonical model of…
We show how to improve the efficiency of the computation of fast Fourier transforms over F_p where p is a word-sized prime. Our main technique is optimisation of the basic arithmetic, in effect decreasing the total number of reductions…
We present a specialized point-counting algorithm for a class of elliptic curves over F\_{p^2} that includes reductions of quadratic Q-curves modulo inert primes and, more generally, any elliptic curve over F\_{p^2} with a low-degree…
A fast algorithm for counting intersections of two normal curves on a triangulated surface is proposed. It yields a convenient way for treating mapping class groups of punctured surfaces by presenting mapping classes by matrices, and the…
We analyse the complexity of computing class polynomials, that are an important ingredient for CM constructions of elliptic curves, via complex floating point approximations of their roots. The heart of the algorithm is the evaluation of…
We describe an algorithm for computing, for all primes $p \leq X$, the mod-$p$ reduction of the trace of Frobenius at $p$ of a fixed hypergeometric motive in time quasilinear in $X$. This combines the Beukers--Cohen--Mellit trace formula…

This paper presents two algorithms on certain computations about Pisot numbers. Firstly, we develop an algorithm that finds a Pisot number $\alpha$ such that $\Q[\alpha] = \F$ given a real Galois extension $\F$ of $\Q$ by its integral…
In a previous joint article with F. Abu Salem, we gave efficient algorithms for Jacobian group arithmetic of "typical" divisor classes on C_{3,4} curves, improving on similar results by other authors. At that time, we could only state that…
We revisit one of the classic problems in the data stream literature, namely, that of estimating the frequency moments $F_p$ for $0 < p < 2$ of an underlying $n$-dimensional vector presented as a sequence of additive updates in a stream. It…
We present a new probabilistic algorithm to compute modular polynomials modulo a prime. Modular polynomials parameterize pairs of isogenous elliptic curves and are useful in many aspects of computational number theory and cryptography. Our…
